Quiet Sadness

There is a quiet sadness within me…

Laughter

from a distance

echoes an

Intimacy

long-passed

*

Peace

drifts from within

to somewhere

outside

in sorrow

*

Be still

I know

and yet within

is solitude

unnerving

*

There is

a quiet sadness

within me

that is

unknowable

*

Undeniable

unsolvable

unyielding

unbending

unquenchable

*

And yet

there remains

Hope

however illusive

it holds me
