Karen Jones Poet Acrostic

Depression

Darkness swells like salty Black Sea
Ebony moods that tarnish a breeze
Pickled words and a soft sour smile
Really absurd how alone in a crowd
Energy zapped and perspective flawed
Soul feels trapped and sadly lost
Sunny songs traded for songs of moon
Indigo eyes braiding light cursing too
Onyx soul embracing painful feelings
Needing to know there is holy healing

Kim Rodrigues February 18, 2026 at 5:32 AM Darkness swells like salty Black Sea…pickled words.. Needing to know there is holy healing.. Too much of this going around, yes need heaven’s healing. Karen Jones February 18, 2026 at 5:36 AM God is able and it’s our Christian duty to be helpful if we can.
