1. A Deep Abiding Sadness

    'Twas a deep, abiding sadness In a chamber locked away, And I took it out to ponder At the dawning of each day. It became my raison d'etre As my loss became my pain. Just a secret kept in silence, I would not display the stain. No one knows just what I felt When her life rejected me. But I can't allow my grief To keep sailing this sad sea. Watching frolicking and laughter, Children playing in the sun, Makes me wonder as I wander, Is all grieving finally done. It's a pitiful existence When you lose your way in life, But responding to your passion May just guide you through the strife. Feel exhilaration burning Down inside your cloistered soul. Join the magic that is living. Make exuberance your goal. Just allow your treasured memory To get dusty from neglect, And each newborn day that passes Will renew your self respect. Lust for life is all that matters, Singing, swaying to the beat, As the rhythm that you feel Brings you twirling on your feet. Changing sadness into gladness May be all that you might need. Spread your radiating fervor And your joys will grow, indeed. Lose your past adoring vision As you search for new romance. Love for loving will restore you When you join it's zealous dance.
