Brain Short
When life gets heavy
And one is crushed beneath its weight,
Brains can short-circuit
If misery does not abate.
Flooding emotions--
They block off the rational mind,
Thoughts that twirled wildly,
But they never fully aligned.
Numbness on cat's feet;
Fog-filled mind choked with confusion.
Frozen decisions
In the blackness of depression.
Friends say to rest now,
To read, pray--find some enjoyment.
Music is healing;
Balm for the pain of the moment.
God will restore all,
Though it may be a long season.
Loving and caring,
He will revive lasting reason.
