Depression


Black clouds breathe scars
Onto a castrated sun lighted
Impotent, horse-leg hobbled
Tripping speech, thoughts and
Dulled wit severed
Tongue licking the hand
Of slowest death.

Painfully descriptive, this stiletto sting of a write. This is a chin to chest dirge walk. Please take some comfort in knowing you aren't alone in this gloomy miasma. Write it out, this was good.

The mind is a powerful place.  But it does belong to you.
Take charge, have hope.  Spring is just around the corner.
New growth soon will be at hand.
God Bless!

Spring and Sunshine - yes - my heart overflows in understanding - big hugs and sunny smiles - somehow we always find our way back out - and then life is good again -
