Sadness

6/10/10

I'm sad with the sadness of what-could-have-beens

and what-would-hae-beens

and what-should-have-beens

I'm sad with the sadness of the past

and the present

and the future

I'm sad with the sadness of saying goodbyes

and saying hellos

and saying how are you?s

I'm sad with the sadness of nostalgia

and remembering the past

and remembering the future

I'm sad with the sadness of the old

and the middle-aged

and the young

I'm sad with the sadness of lost-love

and found-love

and kept-love

I'm sad with the sadness of loss

and new life

and shared life

I'm sad with the sadness of flowers

and trees

and raindrops

I'm sad with the sadness of high summer

and deep winter

and crisp fall

I'm sad with the sadness of knowledge

and ignorance

and wisdom

I'm sad with all the sadness of what-could-have-beens
