A Seasonal Depression

RL Randall

A Seasonal Depression

 

The grey hands of November
strip the colors of autumn
to its winter skeleton,
And melancholy thoughts
rage rampantly across my mind.
The blankets of winter
offer nothing for comfort.
Yet the buds of sanity,
strive to survive this harsh climate
of mental disparity.

      My hope is the ones that feel their buds are dying, get the help they need so that their buds can survive and flourish.

      there is a duality, to autumnal weather
      that evokes
      melancholic and sometimes
      even depressing - frames of mind
      its, in its fields of fire blazing leaves
      while jackets and scarfs
      wage battles with gale-force winds;
      its, in moody romantic nights
      wrapped-up warm, at home
      and wishing
      for wonderfully elegant, nights out
      beneath a gentle drizzle
      serenading our windows and umbrellas..
      and so between
      all this opposing, yet in-sync
      notes
      to autumn's warming melody
      we find ourselves, tipping
      and dipping from reverie's
      pools, a little too often
      which can bring-on
      our spates of melancholic or depressive
      mindsets..
      'Yet the buds of sanity,
      strive to survive this harsh climate
      of mental disparity.'
      (just a great write, dear poet
      so well written, thanks for sharing)
      stay strong!
