I TRIED TO REMEMBER THE SADNESS OF ALL THE POEMS I HAD NOT WRITTEN <br /> <br />I tried to remember the sadness <br />Of all the poems <br />I had not written- <br />But by this time <br />After so many lines <br />Those poems have been overwhelmed <br />By the sadness of those I had written <br />Which I also imperfectly remember- <br /> <br />Life is sadness <br />Poems are sadness <br />Remembrance is sadness <br />Even the dreams which pass by our window <br />As we try to sleep <br />Are sadness <br /> <br />Sadness is All <br />And Life is a Sadness <br />Even Poetry cannot redeem.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-tried-to-remember-the-sadness-of-all-the-poems-i-had-not-written/
