Sorrow is a wilted rose
sepia tinted and crumpled up prose,
Sorrow is cold winter rain
slithering down cracked window panes,
Sorrow is dilapidated barns
in forgotten little villages,
Sorrow is love discarded
walking down deserted lanes,
Sorrow is softly sharp
cutting through sinew and heart,
Sorrow flies on broken wings
journeying through lands unforgiving,
Sorrow is young and old
lost in yearning yesterdays and wrinkled up tomorrows,
Sorrow is not knowing
what you had today,
Until you’ve lost it forever
never to have it come back
someday….
Dear Anjali,
Thank you for this post. As I sit here listening to the music of Olafur Arnalds (which seems to evoke similar depths as this piece by you), I’m left to reflect on how precious is life, and how we ought not squander it or waste it.
All good wishes,
robert
