"Sadness"

"Sadness"

A Poem by Night

 

Sadness is a place where hearts go to cry 
A place of bitter sweet memories
where balloons don't fly. 

"Sadness is a wall between two gardens" 
A place where love 
is replaced with hardness. 

And in his eyes...a sadness you could feel 
A tear in the soul 
all to real. 

But the saddest place to me, and that will ever be... 
Is the sadness inside
 the sadness in me.

You touched a chord with this one, and then I read Kahlil Gibran, that clinched it for me. I've been reading him since I was a kid. My favorite was always, 'Speak to me of Children' of course as a rebellious teen, I used to repeat it whenever possible and it would infuriate my parents. 'Your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you but are not you and though they are with you, they do not belong you to. Wow, I think I still remembered it, if that's right. Anyway, back to sadness, very profound and you nailed it! Thanks for reminding me how much I love Kahlil, I need to visit him again soon. Lovely read.

The words that follow the quote were, for me, better than the quote that inspired the piece. Well done, this. A topic to which everyone can relate, in some way or another. Thank you for baring your soul for us in this beautifully heart-breaking piece.

a most poignant and tender write. sadness is something everyone can relate to, as we all experience it to some degree during our lifetime.

A place of bitter sweet memories
i loved that line -the greatest sadness is when you lose something you loved, when memories that where once sweet becomes bitter.
and i loved the last para too - we always feel the most for ourselves, even if someone else's sadness is more than ours...
