Ground level dips
soils erode
hearts sink into tunnels
scarser are pleasant thoughts
someone else laughs
up springs the wonderment of 'why me'
depression dances with two other ghosts
invisible to the eyes that see constant joy
tangible for those mired in shame or guilt
who ask why did I do this?

Depression dances
with ghostly damsels of guilt and shame
dulls our mental grounds
slinging mud on pleasant days
the mud of nasty recollections
clearer Sundays in the park saw none
but man still asks how he gets so low
how his conscience dips
into wells of depression
minus rope and pulleys of hope
but someone else laughs
friends vanish
depression dances.

Very sad, but very well written.

Depression 'raises' its ugly head when there is an absence of Light in one's life. Many of our experiences can sap our energy ~ leaving us lost, vulnerable and without hope. I have found that by fanning the flames of even the tiniest spark of Light, it can eventually become a raging inferno that gets our mojos moving again!

You skillfully ~ and poetically ~ portrayed the Depression Dance.

Love & Lots of Light,
Linda
