Dawn departures <br />In the rain, <br />Bus terminal kisses <br />For long journeys <br />With arrested love, <br />Delicate poetry crawls <br />Down along lonely and dirty avenues. <br /> <br />In afternoon restaurants, <br />We gather ourselves <br />Like parking meter coins <br />Or a waitress’ tips <br />And still come up short <br />With our meager ambitions. <br /> <br />At dusk, <br />A serenade from birds, <br />This life is beautiful with sadness.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beautiful-with-sadness/
