Trial by Sanjeev Sethi

When saddled with sadness
let it not whelm you.
See it like a shipment:
that is meant to move away.
 
There is beauty in grief
if one allows oneself to spot it.
It contextualizes the concert.
This soups it up.
 
Gloom is good.
It sanitizes the surroundings.
A raft of seen and unseen allies
shinny towards the somber one.
