Sadness

To gain a different perspective on the darker things that plaque our lives can often be the most rewarding steps to self-discovery.

Sadness is

awake always.

Cast as villain,

and made to sit

behind the shine and shimmer,

speaks he a whisper

ceaselessly.

We are told to look away,

but he is meant to save.

He is the home that longs for us;

the friend that waits.

Like a light that lingers from a day spent,

he is the memory

that sprouts enlightenment.
