Let Sadness In


Let sadness
transform you,
trickle down from
your head to your toes.
Let it widen your chest
and raise your heart.
Let sadness dance
in your veins,
a slow dance,
a deliberate dance.
Open the window,
let it sit for awhile.
Let it soak in your bones,
let it ravage you.
It will travel through 
the chambers of your heart
and it will leave you weak at the knees
like a gentle lover.
It will dissolve like fog at daybreak 
over the harbor.
You will grow
from the heartache,
you will weather the storm.
You will survive,
you will find joy.

  12. I think sadness can be a good and solid foundation to build on... once it was believed that melancholy was the noblest of emotions. Still wishing you joy

  13. Sadness can definitely transform us and can add dimension and perspective when we look out into the world once we let it pass though. Hopefully joy comes out the other side.
