Sadness Poem by Sherif Monem

I feel deeply sad
I do not know why
I do not know the reason
I wish I know
The sadness is gripping me
I feel no joy
I feel no happiness
Much more of loneliness
I do not know what the future will hold
I feel arrows of sorrow rushing
I feel they are aiming at my heart
I feel my loud silent cry
I keep wondering why I am so sad
The dreams of happy life faded away
The flowers in the garden withered away
The cries of the past haunting me
The open wounds that never healed
I feel much fear and apprehension
Life is now uneventful and drab
Is it the quietness before the storm
The howling sounds echo in my mind
The sense of life and death resonates
Feeling of loneliness mixes with sadness
Memories of loved ones revisit me
Wheels of time have turned around fast
The new pages of life will soon roll
Wondering what they will be
Will there be happiness
Will there will be more sadness
It is great mystery waiting to come
The fear in my heart toys with me
The mysterious sadness still remain
I want to drink from cup of real joy
I want to throw away the cup of sadness
I want to smell the fragrance of flowers
Feel the beauty of the gardens and roses
