My hopes flew quickly to bright flowers strong and sweet they gazed for hours But now that strength has waned My joy in flurried work though first relieved in stress less space soon borderlined on Shirk This depressed state is common now when we mix our ink with paper we sit in pools of swirling grey and lose our whirlwind shaper our hearts have fallen through the rainbow air and droop on dreary sills our eyes are sick and only stare at mirrors showing ills Our psyches oh so wonderful do quite forget their power and don't remember the angeled bower on which they did alight When winged insects leave the sky when butterflies do land they do not ask their maker why but trust this rest upon his hand They eat and drink they sleep and wait They wait for Gentle eye to wink And when they fly don't wonder why or call their leave too late

when butterflies land
My hopes flew quickly to bright flowers strong and sweet they gazed for hours But now that strength has waned My joy in flurried work though first relieved in stress less space soon borderlined on Shirk This depressed state is common now when we mix our ink with paper we sit in pools of swirling grey and lose our whirlwind shaper our hearts have fallen through the rainbow air and droop on dreary sills our eyes are sick and only stare at mirrors showing ills Our psyches oh so wonderful do quite forget their power and don't remember the angeled bower on which they did alight When winged insects leave the sky when butterflies do land they do not ask their maker why but trust this rest upon his hand They eat and drink they sleep and wait They wait for Gentle eye to wink And when they fly don't wonder why or call their leave too late
I hate having depression. It's so weird. I only have it for short moments in a day or two a week. And other times my mind attacks me. But I know I will be alright. 2 Timothy 1:07 "But God has not given us a Spirit of fear. But he has given unto us a Spirit of Power, of Love, and a Sound Mind"
