The dark cloud has touched down
Keeping my head up
Trying hard not to drown
Everything looks gray
The feeling of blah,
smothering me each day
Needing some shining light,
The gloominess though,
hangs out night after night
Motivation lacking
and energy drained,
my outlook's been blackened
Color has washed away
Dullness sitting in,
despair I can't escape
Passion has disappeared
With joy long gone
depression's back, I fear
Thoughts, easily they spin
like a big vortex
don't want to get sucked in
So I'm hanging on tight
grabbing onto God
praying with all my might
He's my anchor of hope
and will lift the cloud
But not yet, so I cope
It may not happen soon
The weeks might drag on,
hopefully, not till June
Again, the sun will rise
In time, this will pass
and there will be blue skies
Smiles for another day
when the darkness leaves
and the cloud dissipates
Right now, nestling close,
in His wings I'll rest,
in the love that He shows
