The sad art of making paper by Ramon Sunico

The poem tells of the process of making paper and the sadness that comes with it. It speaks of the intertwined relationship of beauty and destruction, how sometimes we need to sacrifice something in order to make something else that is even greater. There was something about the words in the poem that seemed so wistful and sad. The words just flowed like a melancholic, yet beautiful song. It filled me with a sort of sadness but also a deeper appreciation of beauty. It made me feel that sometimes, beauty is made even more beautiful if there is a certain sadness or mystery to it.
