Darkness (LLC 3/17/03) There are days when darkness shrouds my world Like an angry Constrictor squeezing its prey Breaking me, dancing gleefully at my demise Others see the darkness coming And run for shelter rather then risk helping the cursed They know it can envelop them if they get to close Some days its perpetual spinning slows and allows breath Other days it leaves me clutching throat Gasping for normalcy Why does darkness stalk me? Ever present just behind me Waiting to pounce Waiting to smother All semblance of laughter All hint of happiness Gone with a flick of the serpents tongue With a leap of echoing malice Today was a dark day I accept and await breath |

You captured suffocating depression quite well. I like and it is so true: "Others see the darkness coming" and your last line, a sign of hope. ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Thinking about this again. Sometimes it does feel like darkness is stalking you but I found that if you dwell on it we usually make it worse. Again simply amazing! |

Yes, it surely did seem like you had a "dark" day! Well, don't forget, spring is just around the corner and hopefully its warm "breath" is just the breath you need to breathe joy back into your life.  Warm hugs, Earth Angel |

Sue - this is amazing! God I know what this feels like: Others see the darkness coming And run for shelter rather then risk helping the cursed They know it can envelop them if they get to close little do they know that the storm isnt all that bad xxoo |
