Depression ?

tears
always seem
to be just beneath
the surface
ready and willing
to seep forth
should an element
of doubt
a painful remembrance
a twinge of sorrow
come to pass
come to nag
come to me

©September 7, 2002

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

V.  I find that when I am depressed,  I
can't write....not very much...


This poem speaks very accurately of the feel,
cause that is what happens to me as well
IF and when it comes in the dark of night
or the dark of day....

Oh, my gawd---do you ever tell it like it is.
I've experienced moments in my life, like the ones you just so poignantly expressed with your quill. One of the ways to overcome our down-times (as you well know!) is through expressing it with the written word. It pours our pain  onto the paper---and this you have done exceptionally well.

May you not experience any such moments today!

Love, Light & Laughter
