Give Me Sadness
give me sadness
and give me pain
for I will grow through grief
and transform sadness into rain
I will laugh as the earth is renewed
cherishing this bittersweet mood
weeping in mirth
and laughing in agony
I am finally alive
my spirit revived
I walk through the shadows of my soul
parched desserts
and churning seas
to find ....
life is the same on the other side
but I have changed
and everything is rearranged
I see our laughter filled with grief
and our desperate attempts to flee
hiding from our sadness
choosing to live within our madness
with sadness and pain
we choose to feel everything
and though these trials our spirits grow
learning to love even in our sorrow
and give me pain
for I will grow through grief
and transform sadness into rain
I will laugh as the earth is renewed
cherishing this bittersweet mood
weeping in mirth
and laughing in agony
I am finally alive
my spirit revived
I walk through the shadows of my soul
parched desserts
and churning seas
to find ....
life is the same on the other side
but I have changed
and everything is rearranged
I see our laughter filled with grief
and our desperate attempts to flee
hiding from our sadness
choosing to live within our madness
with sadness and pain
we choose to feel everything
and though these trials our spirits grow
learning to love even in our sorrow

Author's Note
edited/ rewritten on 9/2. I hated one stanza but everything was connected. I am very happy with this revision as the meaning and intent are sharper, the poem more flowing, and the ending has more depth. My apologies for posting a work in progress as in were.

hello dearest poet this is really beautiful
we will travel worlds exploring and evolve
our minds shifting as we grow in understanding
pain is a teacher I know intimately and sadness it's keeper

Thank you gentle witch, this poem grew from seeds germinated by a work written by you. Sort of the creativity pay-it-forward plan. So, thank you for your gentle words and the seeds.

So often it is the sadness and pain that makes us grow. The depth of suffering so often corresponds to the depth of someone's soul and the intensity of their feelings. There is wisdom found in suffering that cannot be discovered in any other way. We can choose to embrace it and learn from it, trying to make every experience into something that makes us more than we were. How often in the face of 'death' our heart and soul becomes more open to living and life. We change and often that means completely re-arranging our life and finding that laughter again. Embracing our madness, the sadness and pain to feel everything. Our spirits definitely grow and the depth of our love grows too.

The correlation between the depth of our sadness of our soul seems true. To know heart breaking sadness and still love, laugh, and find joy in living is a challenge few can pass. Sadness can kill the child inside, that in turns destroys our sense of wonder and our belief in magic. You are a true witch knowing both sorrow and wonder. I am in awe of your comment. Peace, love, and mirth. May you find peace in sadness, love in pain, and mirth in bed dear witch.
