Depression

 

Clouds settle upon us

we are incarcerated within

A heavy atmosphere prevails

no view is in sight

 

Little light filters in

time becomes endless

Interest is diminished

everything falls to a new low

 

No longer a desire to read

enthusiasm plummets

Routines are interrupted

life stalls, even fails

 

Meaning is in abeyance

introspection takes over

Resentment and recrimination

readily take root

 

Then the spell is broken

all is amazingly renewed

Regeneration revitalises

Normality is restored
