The Sound of Sadness

Sadness has a sound, friend.
I have heard it
sobbing, weeping in the throat of the widow
and the children.
All wrapped up in quilts;
quilts of happy colors;
as if that will change anything.

I have looked at this one from a while back, I think that it needs a little re read for others to assess its value, I found it secretively good.
If there is anything that needs attention then I look forward to any edit that is suggested. Yours Ian.T
