Haiku 18 - Mirrored

Human tragedy, 
the color of hopeless mornings.
Sadness is constant.  
            •
Sadness is constant,  
a landscape of fear and fire.
Consummatum est.

I just read what I wrote earlier, and wondered why on earth I said what I said. Truth is that my dark comes and goes... and comes and goes. It winds up built into what I write, which is as it should be. J

Thanks. It's strange though that I seem to write dark pieces when I'm not the least bit dark personally. Oh well... J
