Sadness, under the covers
Shyly hid its face
Fearing a fall from grace
If it allowed itself to express
The agony, hurt and tenderness
So instead it coiled
All in upon itself
And hid from view
Under these shadows of forgetting
So if now I find
That I am so terribly tired
Could it be that sadness
Has finally
Revealed its song
For all along it was calling to me
Anyway
And only resistance and fear kept its heat at bay
Obscured under this mirage of self sufficiency
So if you touch me
And I start to bleed
Please do not trouble yourself
But please remember
These cuts I have
They need time and love
To help them heal

Well I really appreciate you saying so Joni…. in this society if you are angry or in pain so often its seen as a defect instead as part of the process of deep healing.. So your words mean the world to me.. Big big hugs to you, sweet friend.. Love you.
