Rise Above It

Rise above it nikki, great write.

:) Thank you Marcus!!!
much appreciated!!

In the 26th line it should be 'than' instead of 'then'.

Really liked this, especially the power and promise. The first stanza(mitts off) made me smile and I like the use of the sun.

Never understand why it's called sunrise/sunset. It doesn't move, y'know? :)

Thanks and I fixed that!!!!
the first time I ever heard
"get your mitts off of me" was in the 80's in a
Stephan king movie Christine, its when Arnie and his dad are beefing it made me laugh also when i heard it :)

Good write....your style in this one is similar to some of my writings....so I enjoyed it even more...

thank you I'll check them out

Nicely written poem.  A couple suggestions:  1.  You don't need to say that you too "will shine again."  You've already said that throughout the poem.  2.  You're above "the dastardly torment of sadness and depression."  If you are talking about "clinical depression," wow that's something.  But I know I can be sad and happy at the same time.  How, you may ask?  By being aware of my emotions (in fact everything I can be aware of).  I find that, like the clouds, they come and go, like my thoughts.  If I merely observe them, non-judgementally, realize they are in me, not in the world somewhere, do not identify with them (I am much more than an emotion), then, and only then, for me, I can go do something about whatever facilitated the negative (or positive) emotion or thought.  That is my brief lecture for today.  Be well and prosper.

Thanks Marcella1!!!!
:)
yes i too have been happy and sad all in the same moment,
 
and your right about observing them
what you said reminded me  
about quantum decay :  
an unstable particle, if observed continuously, will never decay.[1] One can "freeze" the evolution of the system by measuring it frequently enough in its (known) initial state.  
 
crazy right?
