Sadness,
my loyal companion,
my warm shadow.
The path towards
the avenues of the future
is a blurred canvas
full of ghosts and fears.
We fight for hope,
for new steps,
or maybe for new beginnings.
Sadness can be creative,
or perhaps even a work of art,
if we learn how to shape our tears.
Sadness is an ocean
of past memories,
of endless laughs,
of ignored feelings.
Sadness can save us
from forgetting the value of the past.
Learning to befriend our sadness
is a sign of wisdom,
a recipy to move forward,
a map of future learnings,
of perhaps of unexpected victories.
A map that will guide us
far away
from the sorrow.
