The Sadness (1992)

It lingers
   It creeps
       up
         slowly
It settles within
It sits there
     quietly
      mysteriously
       secretively
I wonder
     What cause this?
        Where
          did this sadness come from?
        When
            did
                this start?
Day after day, I ponder
And then
         I see
But what I see
    is not what I want to see
The sadness comes from
        separation
Not a separation of physical distance
   but
     a separation
         in spirit !
