A BLESSED SADNESS (LAST WORD)

Morning clouded with tears Why is sadness oppressing me When happiness has me in her embrace

I know my Father loves me Spirit soars but flesh gravity bound Wrapped in suit of earthiness

Brightness hidden behind the darkness Searching, just searching

My needs are being provided Yet life’s rain is raging Not soft droplets that soothe and caress

But hard pelting blasts that sting the skin Bending the body in negative arch Face toward the ground in surrender

No reason when life’s beauty is present But can’t be felt when the mind is focused on the storm Moving to reach the edge of the chaos

Continuing to move into purpose

Beginning to understand that this moment is necessary The purging and releasing of the pain On what happens when the storm is raging and destroying

Precious things are lost never to be seen again Swept away in the wind…..

But cling to the notion that circumstances are temporary The sky will open up the clearness of blue Populated with softness of white

Happiness is the reward when sadness is endured When it is passed through…..
