A mountain stream
Is like a dream

Beautiful and bright
Like a starry night

A mountain stream
Is a team

With rainbow and weather
To flowers and heather

A mountain stream
With so bright a gleam

Like a setting sun
When the day is done

A mountain stream

Iron Bacteria

You just keep growing
Ever showing
My failure to keep up
Pink ring around the drain
I am full of self disdain

Why can't I do a simple task
Daily cleaning that never lasts
I want my home to be
A sanctuary
But it's fully unsanitary

Staccato
Drumbeats
Matching my pulse

Tapping
Footfalls
I simply can’t stop

Swishing
Skirt
Twirling about my legs

I dance on and on
Through the night

Crafts hawked in the church,
Basement buzzes with cheer's mirth
Christmas fair's warm joy.

Shiny rocks and art
Raven's collection of things
A child's valuables

Race downstairs at dawn
Memories as clear as day
Tear into presents

You wanted to control me
And you did
Very successfully
Now I am choking
Unable to breathe
Through the reality and agony
Of dreams I can’t believe in
Of loves I can’t pursue
Of hope I cannot fathom

The world dressed and waiting
In brilliant winter white
All to quickly to be sullied
By traffic of the night
Trying to retain beauty
Amidst the salt and grit and tears
Will anybody listen when I tell
All my dark fears

Animals in Autumn

Prepping for winter
We migrate or hibernate
Avoiding cold claws

Sweater

Wrapped in your sweater
Warmth and security holds me
Things might not get better
But I am cared for by somebody

All my dreams come true
Shimmering pearls and white gown
Ring clamped on finger

I vowed forever
I think this was a mistake
Claws of doubt rake throat

Weary

I feel weary
A little sad
But mostly tired
Empty
Powerless
Alone

If you have, are, or know someone experience depression, know that you are still valuable – your worth is an intrinsic part of being human and remains the same regardless of how much you are or are not able to accomplish.
