On The Other Side of Fear

On the other side of fear, is hope
Even when the loss is so extreme
Even when you’ve reached the of your rope
One day you’ll give birth to a dream.

On the other side of sorrow is joy
Just when you thought of giving up
Once sorrow concludes its last envoi
You’ll let happiness fill your cup

On the other side of doubt, is trust
Discernment of what is real
Uncertainty sifts out what it must -
The alchemy of truth revealed.

On the other side of grief is grace
Allow loss to winnow its way inside
And let all the tears roll down your face
Love will have no place else to hide.

Sometimes, life is just a long midnight
Sometimes, the end just feels so near
But darkness is only an absence of light
And every moment things become more clear —
I’ll be by your side when the timings right
On the other side of fear.
