Happiness and joy are emotions
that produce conscious feelings
of safety, peace and vibrant energy,
Combined with euphoria and gratitude;
yet they are transient and fleeting,
brain chemistry resets after a while,
emotional fatigue sets in,
and one returns to his baseline.
In stark defiance,
Pain touches the human heart
even more closely than joy,
it silently walks beside man,
like a shadow without a voice;
a profound, shattering affect on
a person’s body, mind and spirit…
It can cause shock and numbness,
intense yearning and loneliness,
guilt and regret,
or even anger and realignment.
Unlike happiness, deep pain
never disappears completely,
one continues to grow around, the pain
reminding like a scar of deep wound;
and in the event of a loved one’s loss
the agonizing pain slowly transitions
into a quiet, enduring love
and remembrance.
