PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

in the clearest moment of my

unfolding depression

I chose at the very last instant

to look for happiness

and I found happiness

instead of looking for sadness

as I had always done

and finding sadly enough

just that

only sadness

the equation before me was so very

simple

I was lost

in all that I felt I had lost

and now , I am found

in all that I have found

my heart no longer wonders

into shadows

where my soul refuses to alight

in a far more spiritual sense

its as if God is whispering to me

'Melissa you are alright!'

these very words

were music to my soul............
