Despondency

Bring me solace throughout my life…
Bring me solace after sunset
Bring me solace after madness and strife
Bring me solace when I’m upset
When I’m upset
When I’m upset
Know I’m no longer upset

Sing to me my poetry 
Bring me to my knees
Swing me to set me free
Put me straight at ease

Let me be a tranquil tree
In the blessed breeze
Get me to your eternity
Gracefully at ease, at ease
Please be my serenity
Be my swaying deserts and seas
Seek solace in my plea
Heal me, save me, set my spirits free

Bring me serenity throughout this lifetime
Bring me solace upon my frame of mind
Flames of inspiration and desire, this time,
Burns within my passionate glow so kind
Glow so kind
Glow so kind
Know you’re very kind

Sing to me my poetry 
Bring me to my knees
Swing me, set me free
Put me straight at ease

Let me be a tranquil tree
In the blessed breeze
Get me to your eternity
Gracefully at ease, at ease
Please be my serenity
Be my swaying deserts and seas
Seek solace in my plea
Heal me, save me, set my spirits free

Strengthen me according to Your liberty
Set my sorrowful spirits to soar triumphantly on
You no longer upset me, for I’m truly free
Like the dusk to the evening or the sun to the dawn

Sing to me my poetry 
Bring me to my knees
Swing me, set me free
Put me straight at ease

Let me be a tranquil tree
In the blessed breeze
Get me to your eternity
Gracefully at ease, at ease
Please be my serenity
Be my swaying deserts and seas
Seek solace in my plea
Heal me, save me, set my spirits free

Sing to me my poetry 
Bring me to my knees
Swing me, set me free
Put me straight at ease

Sing to me my poetry 
Bring me to my knees
Swing me, set me free
Put me straight at ease

I accept these tears
I’ve wept these tears 
Throughout my childhood
All over this neighborhood…
Heal me, free me from despondency please

Depression is a life force depleting feeling that needs professional help. I hope this is not a mood that surrounds you and stays around but only comes once in a while. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my pages. Sara
