Depression

~ Depression ~ The night was dark, there was no sight Not even the moon would give much light A layer of mist upon the land The road was muddy, rocks and sand The water around was dark and deep The rain fell slowly, the skies did weep No animals here, they found no rest in surroundings so depressed … ‘t Was there he walked, alone and slow, his shoulders down, his head hung low His eyes half closed, expression sad ‘t was not the easiest time he had. His feet, they walked the empty road and struggled with a heavy load The burdens loaded on his back were like a mountain-weighting sack His mind a whirl of darkest thought his feelings felt the pain it brought The pain that went right through the core… He felt he could go on no more… And so he sat, and sighed, and wept with that, the feelings did adept with all around, he gave up hope and from his waist he took a rope He hung it from the tallest tree So that it was, just let it be… He put the rope around his neck then climbed up high, did not look back Then he looked down, was soon to die… he looked around… and said goodbye… Now, in the early morning light He there lay still, so sad a sight… But softly then the wind did blow and through him did a shiver go A sunray touched him through the trees And look! He rose upon his knees He slowly smiled as he looked around What, yesterday, took him to the ground? He remembered looking up A sunray beaming through the top A bird that sang it's little song and suddenly, the day’d begun A warm feeling spread throughout his soul and he slowly started to feel whole… And he knew that he could find a way to lose his troubles with each day He looked around, and understood his life still had a lot of good. He laughed and suddenly started to run… out of the darkness… and into the sun!
