You Shall Live More

When you are depressed Do not let your tears down, Hope that at the end of the tunnel, That at the end of the darkness There shall be dazzling light of day; Whenever you are most disillusioned, Do not let yourself suffer with pessimism, For after the floods are gone a way The fields will once again bloom green And the earth shall be dry again; Whenever you feel dejected and humiliated, Stay quiet as a dove, stay calm, In the end your soul shall be exalted And your person shall be smeared with glory Of triumph, elation and victory; Whenever you feel that you can live no longer, Look at the sun and its beauty Shall fill you with life, you shall live more.

"When you are depressed" wrap your aches into beautiful words and drip them one by one until you get healed.. "Whenever you feel dejected and humiliated, Stay quiet as a dove, stay calm", walk away with your untarnished wonderful soul, befriend Nature and be one! A great attitude! A beautiful message! A wonderful read! A great pleasure to read your poetry, HONESTY.. my deepest regards and blessings.
