The colors of my world are slate blue grey the steely chill colors of a midwinter sky has snuck into my soul Dark olive green and a cold brown bits of black swirl around Can't warm up lol
The bright lights hurt my eyes and the sound of people drive me in to hibernate silence and my quiet apartment have become welcome friends of mine
Let me cocoon hide away waiting for Spring to set in thawing out these blue grays warming up my steely thoughts and emotions even my humor has a bite like an artic wind that suddenly swooshes out of nowhere but seeps into the marrow
I can't deny my funk anymore Sink into it and accept it Didn't sign up for this gig but will embrace this time of sadness
when the warmth comes back I will throw off this heavy cloak and rejoice but for now not running from it anymore.
Hey, Sis...I can relate. That's pretty much how I feel when I get into my "blues" mode. And yes, if it becomes unshakable, then I'll just embrace it and let it be...for a time that I choose. Then, I lift myself out of it.
Thanks all I know the poem seems a bit depressing and I am not trying to bring anyone down. Even in the middle of our rough times there is hope. Ken and Drue you are both always so encouraging of others thanks for that I know you have been through some rough things lately.

Just one that I could really relate to, Dawn. And I'm keeping a roll of duct tape on hand...just in case.
