Eyes of Sadness

"eyes of sadness"

within the eyes of sadness
reflections of yesterday swirl
endless memories are looks of today
outward silence differs the inward voice
only a fallen angel recognizes this spirit
for the eyes of sadness overshadow them

remembrance of moments never disappear
as the eyes of sadness takes a toll
diminished are mind body and soul

living a bleached rainbow of the past
enchanted elegancies await to emerge
with new impressions for tomorrow
the eyes of sadness change its course

Yes, sometimes sadness feels like it's with us forever, never losing its grip over us or the course we sail. I know they say it makes you stronger, I sometimes wonder if this is true.

Don't think I'll get rid of my sadness. Blessings.
