In The Sadness Of The Night Comments

Sadness is not necessarily a negative experience, is it? For a variety of reasons. First, it's often true, there are many things in the world that make us sad. To deny that is futile. Second, sadness does not have to be isolating and enervating. It can be inspiring, encouraging us to go out and solve problems, to help; others, to philosophize about our condition rather than blindly accepting it. Your poem inspired these thoughts because it is the Voice of Night - it is patient, receptive, generous, unflappable (!) .
