Down Days of Darkness
It is more fun to write of cheerful or fanciful things. However, on reading a very good post on depression from Inside the Life of Moi yesterday, I was drawn to write a poem by way of backing up what Amanda had shared. You may also like to see The Rage Rages On.
Down Days of Darkness
For those who’ve walked the streets,
Down the days of darkness,
Know the shuffling of the feet,
And the foreboding tristesse.
In those dim, drizzly days,
Where all is hard to see,
Even the tears struggle to flow,
In the depression melee.
I scrawl as one who’s been there,
And for those who are there now,
To remind them another avenue waits,
And they will reach it somehow.
The cloud will lift, and the rain will dry,
Another avenue will come into view,
And the sun will beam down from the sky,
To warm the way for you.
