Analysis of Beautiful Sadness

Once upon a time
I gazed at the face of a beautiful sadness
She invited me into her temple
Transported me there
By crystal blue tears
Pored from her goblet
Stinging
Ripping me from the fabric of my time

I walked down her hallways
Stumbled through her darkness
Searched for hidden passages
Grasped at invisible door knobs
"Please
Let me see a glimpse of eternity!"

A clear voice flowed down the hall
Color from shadow transformed her walls
I followed unable to speak
Within her sanctuary
Answers
I chose to seek

There in the temple of her mind
From a broken Alter I dined
Unsure what mystery I would find
I felt my preconceptions
Slowly unwind

The sadness I felt
Had been my own
I had traveled many paths alone
The broken Alter was my heart of stone
That had led me away from another's throne

I looked out the windows of her soul
Seen my own face drenched in tears
It seems her eyes were actually mirrors
In that moment I lost my fears
As I gazed at the face of a beautiful sadness
