Poem: Meloncholy

Been wanting to write some poetry for National Poetry Month, but haven't had a lot of ideas or energy. I got to thinking about this strange sense of sadness I have felt today. It isn't a bad feeling, certainly not the deep dark well of depression. Just a vague sense of sadness. I decided to accept that this was just how I felt today, and ended up writing a short poem based on my reflections.

Meloncholy

Bitter with just a hint of sweetness
darkness, close, yet vast
like being wrapped in one cavernous blanket
or riding a sea of sadness on a tiny tugboat
breathe deep the salty air
feel the moisture on your face
it is okay to just be
in this comforting sadness
