Analysis of Sadness



Softly the wind blows every where she stepped,
flowers moving trees rustling.

Not knowing why she weeps at the sudden feeling of sadness griping her heart, the loneliness of her existence in her world where only the moon shines and the mists swirl around all the time.

The loneliness of not finding her true love grips her every waking hour,
falling to her knees and clutching her heart she lets out an ear piercing scream of agony that no one will ever hear.

She slumps onto the ground dying of heart break knowing that the last breath she takes will be her final farewell to her realm
not ever finding her true love.
