happy passageway

A spillway but for emotions
The dam of negativity can no longer hold
Back the tide that has changed
This joy and gladness rises high
So high that it will not be contained
It rushes fiercely across the top of the bad
Overturning immovable boulders
Washing away the poisonous sludge that
Stood as a never-ending trap
Now the nightmare is drifting toward obscurity
Down into the darkness where it belongs
And I find myself traveling toward happiness
Because of you
