The Poet - J Asheley Brown
A Beautiful Sadness
When you hear the word sadness
your mind immediately paints a picture
of sorrow, despair, hard times and suffering.
In this world, suffering is inevitable. During these times, these dark days, it is expected.
A flower or a plant needs the sunlight to flourish and bloom.
There are very few flowers that can thrive in the dark, creepy gloom.
But that same flower also needs the rain to fall.
Roots extended
Drinking moisture
Drinking life
We are like that flower, that plant
Needing both the sun and the rain
Suffering is necessary
It proves the character
Sadness will come
But we can smile again
Are you Love-strong?
My strength is determined by my capacity to love...
Each new dawning, each new day
Brings another chance to exercise this ability, this opportunity...
And, yes, sometimes I don’t want to utilize....this gift?...perhaps...
Cause it takes energy to love something and especially someone...
Oh, yes, someone....
I’m so glad God teaches me how to love
And how to stretch that muscle and put it to good use...
He shows me how to do 50 reps of turning the other cheek
When someone says something rude to me and I want to retaliate...
He shows me how to do 100 stomach crunches of taking it all in
When the storm has blown into my life, all hell has broken loose
And I can’t find any shelter anywhere...
He’s right there spotting me when I’m trying to lift 225
