I was happy a minute ago then,
A wave of sadness swept over me
It embraced me In its cold, cold hands
It came in with a madding quickness
It caught me unaware but yet knowing
It burdens my heart
It breaks my heart
Why it came just now, I don’t know
I was so joyful the minute before
Maybe it will sweep out
As rapidly as it came
Leaving me alone
Soaking wet on an unknown shore
With the possibilities and pain
Of my new life.
(OMG! Another one that I thought I would keep to myself! So painful and so personal. Of course it is about the aftermath of my wife's passing.)
