My gray engulfs me. Choking and blinding as smoke. Like a low lying fog it obscures my feet. Too blasé for despair, I can’t seem to care. The gray overwhelms me, then sleep overtakes me and I fatten and stiffen as days blur and blunder one after another, too much like each other. Feeling the malaise grow living leaden and slow. Trying remedies that will put the get up back in my go, has only resurrected my wit. Sardonicism shines my gray to silver. If only for the moment, I see the shining lining in an overcast sky. My indifference is abated by my laughter. I find teasing to be quite pleasing and the death knell to my dead pan at least for a little while. LGR©2/21/16 |

Yep, you still have that Lori sense of humor going for you, sha. And that, my friend, is a wonderful thing to have. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Some days it seems as if all I do is give the old man a hard time and nap. Bless his heart he is a good sport about all of it. ~L |

This put a smile on my face Lori. If you ever find anything significant to put the get up back in your go then let us all know right away........Imagine the interest that would generate. I agree, all you can do is laugh about it sometimes. From one fighting it tooth and nail observer to another....... Hang in there and have some fun with the imposed gray....... Your experience and wisdom is passed on, too hard to do anything with it personally....smile.... true love never looks after it's own interests |

I really like this poem, as I can relate.. A very sound look at "going gentle into that good night" You rage against the gray, and seems you are winning the battle through your words.. My hat is off to you Madame poet. Even if it shows my bald head, and gray ponytail. "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." |

Thank you all so much my wonderfully blue buddies! I'm so glad this one was so well received. I know I whine quite a bit about my depression and all its forty flavors. I'm always afraid I'm going to hit the saturation point with everybody..."Oh gawd, there she goes again...(mega eye roll)" I really resisted writing about it at all...well, when I finally felt like writing that is. Your support means more than you will ever know. ~L |
