The Play of Dark and Light


The soul is sad
Making me mad
Why do the dark clouds cover the light?
Making me lose sight
The priorities get jumbled
Like jigsaw pieces jumbled
Anxiety spreads
Anger spreads
Like waves from me
Like ripples of a pond leaving me
Let them spread so they leave
Hoping they miss others as they leave
Slowly the waters become calm
Ripples of the mind start to calm
The sun comes out from behind the clouds
The light comes piercing through the clouds
The black dog of darkness runs away
Pushing dark thoughts away
The heart feels gladdened
The soul uplifted
I smile again
Ready to spread joy again!

Hope


The heat is on this summer
Warming my muscles and bones
Making the pain dim and fade
All possible to the move made
The movement is easier
Something I had hoped for
This makes life so much better
Much more to live for
The highs of 40 degrees in the past
Would have made me run away fast
Now the heat brings relief and ease
Making me sigh with peace
The pain makes me feel low
Dark winter cold compounds it
The sunshine here gives the blues a blow
Already lightening the mood a bit
Thus the cycle of pain and depression
Feels like finally broken
Fills me with hope and elation
Hope not to be shaken
