water

sadness is like water, a necessity

sadness is water
plastic bottles in the pantry
closed for now
but not for long

like water
sadness is necessary to feel anything at all

sadness clings to the grass
as the sun rises
a new day
summoned by the birds

sadness is the first rain in spring
breathing life into dead ground
I am dead ground
born again

tears fall and I let them

I am a summer storm
this sadness, this storm
I'm healing

I love how simple this poem is and yet it has a very poignant message.
Beautifully written especially the water bottle comparison.

Sadness is indeed a necessity to appreciate happiness. I really liked this. The similes are very uncommon and amazing.
