Senryu: Real sadness never leaves

A Japanese form of poetry, a senryu. Sadness cannot be timed. It is what it is.

Sadness survives love

Sadness recreates more love

Why am I so sad?

Someone asked me:

Does sadness make us vulnerable, can anything make us vulnerable, but fear?

Does love reach out to embrace us in our vulnerability, and fear?

Vulnerability is a security thing, and with love there is no sense of vulnerability, but with sadness, there is if we do not see the underlying love still there, but the sadness is a lever into love, because we do feel vulnerable to being hurt and pained by sadness until we see it, sadness, does not come from fear, but from the truth of love crying tears of connectiveness to the life of love ending in others somehow, in our perceived connection to them.
