Depression's Storm

by Baby Rainbow   Feb 26, 2014


A crack in the winter sky
lets the rain pour down,
flooding the land beneath.

Clouds congregate as
darkness sets in,
consuming the light
before another storm.

I climb beneath the shelter
of my lonely shell,
fragile,
yet it offers me protection.

And I try to remember
the encouraging words
I heard not long ago:

"Just remember to breathe,
for this too shall pass."

    Take a deep breath and picture the ocean. It's something beautiful. That's what I do.
    And yes it shall pass.

    I love when you write sad poems with nature as metaphors. You always do them well! I think here the winter sky could be your heart or life. And every "negative weather" or sadness is coming through to your life. Though we all have "shelter" it's really hard tohide inside. The imagery here though is wwonderfully written. The darkness consuming the light I love because it's a battle between them both. But the way you wrote this there is much more sadness than happiness or ( darkness than light). I loved the shell. It could mean a lot. For most people it's their room. The ending is fantastic! !! No mattee what a storm or "sadness" will always pass. The sunshine willalways shine.
