loss

There is such sadness in the air

it drifts through the hallways

and lingers at the doors

So fine this gray mist

We only glance at each other

for if I were to look

directly in your eyes

you would see the sadness

gather there

and spill slowly down my cheeks

    How well you express that deep sadness that flows to the eyes when exposed in our interaction with others…such a beautiful poem.
