Re: Beautiful Sadness Poem

Hi angelbearbp

I think I might know what you mean about the Beautiful Sadness - I think it might be like something I call the "sad happy". You can hear it in music. There are certain chords that I call the 'sad happiness' - and I have always felt God was immediately there. Love was there but also some sort of pain. I can't express it any other way. It seems like the two go together.

I sympathise with your first verse, the loss of your beloved mother; and the second verse, the loss of your love. I also have lost both. My mum died; and just a few years later, a man repudiated me who for for 25 years I had loved as his wife. Mental illness was part of it but even in relative sanity he repudiates me/distances himself from me.

All I can say is, thank goodness for God and his creation that continues to be beautiful and to bring solace.

Thank you for your sympathy and sharing your personal story with me...You said exactly what I meant and was trying to write about.

Hugs,
