Thank you Katja. It was my attempt to illustrate the torment of depression. I am that the silver lining touched you.

So powerful.  I feel as if I am in it with you.  Thank you.

Thank you Mel. You perceived the message of reaching out for rescue. I am glad we could, for a time,  journey together.

I always enjoy seeing rhyme swim among the waters of free-verse. It's a tried-and-true form of poetic foundation that writers such as yourself keep alive with offerings such as these.

Thanks for the read.

Thank you Ahavati, I am inspired by the masters who so deftly used rhyme.

Brilliant Capture...Write On

Thank you 2b. I appreciate your words of encouragement.

It's been a while since I've paid much attention to things here...just a quick read here and there. But wow, this one made me take notice. I've weathered that storm - thanks for articulating the experience so beautifully! Straight to my reading list. Bravo!

I am elated to know that weathered. Seems I weather one only to sail into the eye of another...God must think I'm a good sailor.

The depression passes with that Warm Wind, ideally.  I'm glad you ended this on a hopeful note.  I'm still looking for some shelter...  Excellent write!

Thank you Crow...me too

I miss you Gahdess!, I

know my presence is a thin mist on here lately, but must
always come and enjoy you

AND this really slayed me, I felt a few bone crackle with
a hammering truth. Hugs

Howlings, I too have not been as frequent a visitor to DUP. I have not been producing as much. I do occasionally feel that spark again and I write. I am so glad that you appreciate this piece. It is heart-felt and composing these words I too was comforted. Thank you...it's good to have you here.

Much enjoyed reading this poem, G_W. I like the rhyme, it comes easy and underlines the violent inner strife, calmed by the more conciliatory last stanza. Beautiful!
