The Bleak Gray Mist

A bleak gray mist slowly descends slays all the color in the land. Of melancholy it portends. The slow trickle of hourglass sand shows seconds turn to endless days each one a moment of self-doubt and ever-deepening malaise; as loathing builds its own redoubt. The bleak gray mist will darker grow each time it creeps up to attack; it was, and will be always so until there only will be black.

I enjoyed reading this wonderful write. In life somethings one cannot explain, depression is one of those things. Only when one lives it can one understand it. Have a wonderful/fun day............................

Dear Terry, your expressive imagery paints “the bleak gray mist” in emotive shades of melancholy.. indeed depression “slays all the color in the land”. A soulful beauty, the last line is especially poignant. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Hi Susan, thank you for your kind comments, depression is so hard to explain to someone who has never suffered. I keep trying with my poems
