This Shall Pass

Cold, silent emptiness runs through my soul.
It beckons to me, waiting, ready to attack,
To pull me into the cold depths
Of depression, dark and empty, no hope in sight.
I will not go quietly into the pit of despair.
But this shall pass, and give way to hope
I plant what little hope I have into the ground.
I fertilize it, nourish it, shelter and protect it, until
A beautiful bed of roses has bloomed.
With my two hands, tired and beaten,
I have taken control of myself, and created life anew.
As the sun slowly sets on my little world,
My hope garden is snuffed out.
I feel myself losing control, losing ground.
A force pulls into the waiting shadow.
I give in to the irresistable forces.
Cold shadow swirls around me, like a cyclone,
And this too shall pass, as easily as it came in,
As the cold moon sets, and the sun rises,
On a bright new day.
