Re: Form of the week: Saudade
by A Non-Existent User
Can this be considered Saudade?

Cloudy Land

Sometimes I find myself
thinking,
wallowing in the thoughts that drift by.

We used to laugh and sing,
play and dance all day long
to the melody and song
of Grandpa's orchestra.

When we stopped doing
what Grandpa looked forward to,
what we four looked forward to,
because of matters
we were too young to understand,
we stopped doing what we loved to do.

Why though?
Why did we stop?
Why did we stop feeling, singing,
playing, fighting,
chatting, laughing,
swinging, dancing?

Why did the music stop
when Grandpa went to Cloudy Land?



Yours sincerely,
Definitely NOT Suki
