Is it worth feeling sad
when the dreams shatter?
we can always dream again
for some visions much better.
Is it worth feeling sad
when the promises are broken?
thoughts change, people change,
the words could’ve been spoken.
Is it worth feeling sad
when there is material loss?
Materials are perishable,
let them go for a toss.
Is it worth feeling sad
about profound belongingness?
When someone doesn’t care,
whom you once considered 'us'.
Is it worth feeling sad
when someone we like, moves away?
Everyone has a journey,
they must go on their way.
Is it worth feeling sad
for whom the heart bleeds?
It is the atonement of earthly love
and to eternal love, it leads.
It is better to understand
there must’ve been some reason.
Nonetheless, a word perhaps
can save someone a season.
It is alright to feel sad at times
for someone who deserves that care.
But maybe once in a blue moon,
let’s keep such occasions rare.

recognise your scenarios
and that constant, chaotic presence
of nature's, juxta-positioned duality
opposing our search for peace
in our day to day...
thanks for sharing, dear poet
Even when we know the duality exists, we do understand it and still can't live without it, for all our experiences are governed by it, and it is our bandwidth of experience. But yes, as you said, the understanding should make a difference. Thank you dear poet.
This is so beautifully penned my dear friend. Lovely flow and rhyming pattern, a joy to read aloud. I sometimes think that maybe sadness is there for a reason, that we may come to appreciate the happiness that much more.
I too feel that occasional sadness may give us depth to help us appreciate the happiness in a much better way..
