Sad Words

Some forty odd years ago when I first started to write the words that came out were always sad words. Repressed feelings of my own, who can ever tell? Then the words became lighter and happier when love came to me. Now they have gone full circle and sadness is all I seem to write. The lighter and happier words have vanished like a candle light extinguished in the night. The sad words have travelled full circle coming back to me filling my pen with sorrow and tears the way it used to be. Love is still with me, so I question what I write, wondering if that candle will ever be lit again at night to guide back the happier words, banishing the sad words forever out of sight. 28 March 2010
