Sadness

Sad face.

Sad eyes.

(Remember the song)

A whole string of sadness.

My own son.

Attacked by a virus.

Me seeing him hurt and scarred.

Any tears?

Sad heart.

Body tense.

Lonely.

Lonely with sadness.

Alone. 

Sadness all mine.

Buried down inside of me.

I've been keeping it.

Who can I share it with?

Careful with who you do share.

More hurt.

You?

High Pressure

Yet the weather is so calm.

Peaceful.

It is as if there was no pressure.

No intense cloud,

thunder,

or bolt of lightning.

Small children

scamper about delighting in

an insect wing

or game of tag.

Summer

blue sky

and high pressure

long may you revist

to change the way we see the world.
