Your general sadness

Let's talk about your general sadness for just a minute or two.
It's the end of an era that lasted about five days when you
thought you could see the world bending backwards and then
forwards again. And when it bent forwards it ripped open and
the world's guts fell all over the place.

But now and again
And again and again
It's that general sadness
That doesn't add up correctly.
It's important to take that general sadness
And really make it add up.
Make it Good on paper
Make it Good on all accounts
You've got nothing
Nothing without ink on paper.

Hi, ecclesiastes1,
Only writing in response to prompts or when my spirit is so moved, I am not a very productive writer. Writing may be a window into one's soul, but I hope there is more to life than ink on paper...else I really need to get busy. Please do keep the ink coming! Thanks for sharing.
