I Have Something to Say

Sadness crept up on padded feet
And curled three times
And settled in her lap,
Fuzzy and warm and purring.

She let Sadness lie there quiet,
Furry and comfortable,
Nuzzling her into the night
Nuzzling her into the Night.

The darkness beckoned
The Sadness purred
And she drifted almost away
She drifted away
Almost.

Then dawn broke
It shattered; It splintered
Into a billion shards of radiance
That hovered and surrounded
And enveloped her,
Infused her with its hope,

And Sadness leapt
And bounded away
Skittering into nothingness
It's comfort forgotten,
It's spell broken,
As she faced the Light
As she faced the Light.
