The only light I see
Is in a color that just might be
The joy of sadness
About to lift free

I love you poem and you profile picture, keep up the good work

This feels like a quiet moment of recognition, catching sadness right at the instant it begins to soften into something gentler. The paradox of “the joy of sadness” is simple but effective, giving the poem a reflective, almost meditative glow. You might explore extending the image just a little, perhaps grounding that colour or motion in something concrete to deepen the emotional resonance. As it stands, the piece shows a sensitive instinct for emotional thresholds, and that attentiveness is worth continuing to follow. Good words.
