(Snapshot from the film 'The Double Life of Veronique')
Wherein
lies the genesis of this strange feeling in me?
I am yet
to discover
I know
for certain it wasn’t sudden…
It
overcame me degree by degree in gradual progression,
Till it
hit me hard one afternoon
Inconsolable
I was
Inexplicable
it was
How it
took hold of me and all that I knew my life to be
You look
in my eyes
And you
see
So much
sadness in me
I look in
them
And I
draw a blank
How did I
come to be so?
When I
examine, I see no reason to be consumed in sadness
Life has
been fair, nothing extravagant but nothing to despair
Something
must be incomplete in me
Missing
notes in a melody
Missing
pages of a story
As I looked
out through the window pane
Streets
and buildings soaked in rain
I burst
out crying
Uncontrollably
