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!
