Depression Weighs Heavy

Depression weighs heavy upon the posture of hope Scarring demeanor carving arthritic oak Agonised limbs decorate skies without bird Emptiness the whisper that sings without word Unfertile the thoughts sewn Neath a barren minds clay Home grown the emptiness to harvest each day No seasons differentiate the spring, summer, fall Only winters bleak flourish within self-pity's wall Depression weighs heavy upon the posture of hope Outstretched the plead, arthritic the choke

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
