A Nail In The Coffin
If you think sadness is a sentiment,
Think again.
Sadness can be
The fullness of the void,
The totality of existence –
While it lasts.
If you think sadness is grief,
Think again!
Grief includes
Distress of loss,
Whereas sadness engorges
The sweetness of the wound.
The richness of this excess
Makes light of the nail -
The implement of pain
By which we unveil
A singular profound mystery –
Who Really Am I?
