Sun Rescue
As the sun goes down
And darkness fills the air
My depression rises
It’s more than I can bear.
My life seems so fragile
I dread joining the dead
My eyes start their weeping
As I lie in my bed.
I struggle to be still
But my mind is consumed
With jealous forebodings
Each betrayal exhumed.
And the night drags on
The nightmares won’t cease
I wait for the morning
To bring me release.
The sky changes color
The black turns to grey
The stars start to fade
As I continue to pray.
The sun makes an entrance
Golden rays kiss my face
My frozen heart thaws
I’m in a better place.
I bask in the soft light
As my demons all flee
Inner joy bubbles up
The sun has rescued me!
