Fleeting Emotions

Happiness is a fleeting emotion

and that’s how it should remain

for if we were eternally happy

how could we ever feel pain?

 

Sadness is a fleeting emotion

and that is how it should remain

for if we were eternally sad

joy would be hard to attain

 

Jealousy is a fleeting emotion

and that is how it should remain

for if we were eternally jealous

where would trust fit in the frame?

 

Fear is a fleeting emotion

and that is how it should remain

for if we were eternally fearful

strength would never rise again

This is lovely. I like the rhythm and power. It's a gentle but powerful reminder that even the deepest, darkest emotions are not eternal.
