The Night flees far
As the Day dawns bright
Revealing the scar
That dwells still

The Sun rises slowly
Chasing shadows from the ground
But those that dwell inside
In shadow leave me drowned

Birds greet the day
A sad melody
In a lovely mockery
Naming my feelings a comedy

Dawn fades to noon
As time slowly flows
Flowers bloom
Crushed in woes

Heat beats down
Oppressive, Suffocating
In its sorrows I drown
My shadow fading

The Sun sets
The last light struggling
At my fate
Mocking, Cackling

Shadow blankets the land
Taking sorrow by the hand
Leading onward to the night
From the coming day I take flight

You've penned a weighty piece, DF...very weighty, indeed.  If this is of depression...you know the subject well.  Perhaps by observance; perhaps by subjective means.  It touched me.  Be well, and write some more in Open.

Samson, I can relate. It's hard somtimes, but good to write about it though.
