Eclipse of Feelings

In shadows draped, a melancholy shroud, Grim, withdrawn feelings, emotions unbowed. A wistful longing whispers in the air, Melancholy's touch, a mournful affair. Gloomy mists descend, a somber cloak, The Depression weight, a heavy toll invoked. Yet through the haze, a glimmering light, Resilience emerges, dispelling the night. With each sigh, a step towards hope's embrace, Defying darkness, finding solace and grace. Within life's tapestry, strength is unfurled, Resilient hearts conquer, transform the world. Wistful whispers guide us past the grim, Melancholy's grip weakened, growing dim. May 25, 2023 Eight Word Challenge Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Emile Pinet
