That winsome melancholy <\/p>\n
Always became you,<\/p>\n
Or you became it<\/p>\n
Three shades of blue<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\u2018Don\u2019t interrupt the sorrow\u2019<\/p>\n
You once admonished<\/p>\n
But when joy peaked through clouds<\/p>\n
You were astonished.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Why must we major<\/p>\n
In such minor keys,<\/p>\n
As if it were the blues<\/p>\n
That liberates and frees?<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
However genuine sadness<\/p>\n
It isn\u2019t the last word,<\/p>\n
Life is not all suffering,<\/p>\n
Nor is it all absurd.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
No pit is so deep,<\/p>\n
That love\u2019s not deeper still<\/p>\n
Emptiness fills no cavities<\/p>\n
Pain never will.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Melancholy makes you heavy<\/p>\n
It tends to weigh you down,<\/p>\n
It has specific gravity<\/p>\n
But is it so profound?<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Or is it feeling\u2019s counterpart<\/p>\n
To the human fall,<\/p>\n
\u2018Omnia anima triste\u2019,<\/p>\n
Happens to us all. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
In the end a choice is made,<\/p>\n
By each and every life,<\/p>\n
To savor life\u2019s inherent scent<\/p>\n
Or focus on the strife.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The sorrow is interrupted<\/p>\n
By resurrection fact<\/p>\n
And God imparts to human hearts<\/p>\n
The impact of that act. <\/p>\n God’s yes to life<\/p>\n Is louder than death’s knell<\/p>\n He’s enacted triumph<\/p>\n Tracing tragedy’s limits well.<\/p>\n <\/span>Nov. 12, 2007<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" That winsome melancholy Always became you, Or you became it Three shades of blue \u2018Don\u2019t interrupt the sorrow\u2019 You once admonished But when joy peaked through clouds You were astonished.
