Depressions Grip

Dark..in depressions grip
   on an unending nightmarish trip

Dark..as thoughts unsaid,
   in machinations dread

Dark...as the human soul
   as transgressions take their toll

Dark...as a solar eclipse
    in life's sudden apocalypse

Dark...as  moonless night,
    without a bright guiding light

Dark...as the hour before dawn-
    how will hope be reborn
