Sadness Comes In The Darkness Of Where We Are Poem by Shalom Freedman

SADNESS COMES IN THE DARKNESS OF WHERE WE ARE
Sadness comes in the darkness where we are
Is there no way out?
The mind is its own place
But when it becomes a hell,
What place in it is given to others?
We love and love and love
But love is not enough
The darkness and more darkness
The pain and more pain
The stasis and more stasis
Nothing moves and nothing gives
And nothing lives
Is there a way out?

Walk walk
Take a single small step
If you can
And see
Perhaps
There is another small step
After that.
