A Great Sadness

                                 By Keni Fink 2/17/08

 

Most people think I’m crazy

And I am… some of the time

I… Live in a haze

With no reason or rhyme

 

A Great Sadness

            Nothing escapes

A Great Sadness

            Nothing left alive

A Great Sadness

            Nothing else is left to do

A Great Sadness

            Nothing else to try

A Great Sadness

            No place else to turn

A Great Sadness

            (It’s the meaning of it all) Is there meaning to it all

A Great Sadness

Not a chance that you’ll escape it

A Great Sadness

Not a chance

 

Too many things have happened

Beyond control… anyone’s

Nothing… someone can mend

It’s not a game that’s won

 

So many pleasures offered

Give & take… Short tour of paradise

I… Live in a world

That keeps me mesmerized

No other paths are open

Live it up… convalesce

I… am just the wind

Tho it’s a great sadness
