And underneath the sorrow  of my heart

And underneath the sorrow  of my heart
There is a deeper happiness beneath
Though neither can be measured on a chart

The sorrow  in my breast cannot be taught
But human beings each discover grief
Underneath the centre  of  our hearts

Sorrow is no fish that can be caught
Acceptance,toleration may relieve
Though neither can be measured on a chart

The happiness below the dark unsought
This feeling is surprising but believe
It’s underneath the sorrows  of the heart

From our love and loss a self is wrought
As if our self must first be reconceived
Nothing can be measured on a chart

Trust the darkness, for  Love is no thief
And neither does it ever want deceit
Feeling  joy and sorrow  in my heart
No life or love  is measured on a chart
