Depression (Iteration 11)

The Lord my Sun has given me everything
They have given me a way forward
They have given me a way onward

I’ve basked so healthily and so happily
In my Lord’s grace and favor

And yet, so turbulently, their light has been bent askew

Causation and caustic influence have invaded
My soul, my permanence, in my Lord’s light
And I wish my Lord would save me

This: all true—until the whirlwind of vipers
The maws of these Dragons, their mouths distended
Devour my fear and my Darkness

All for me to learn that Darkness has always been with me
To learn that Darkness
May not be what I’ve feared, but what I’ve desired

— M.M.
