Luminous Mars twinkles red to my eyes

As squarking gulls crisscross the skies

Moonlight radiance rests aglow

As my happiness resumes it’s flow

My melancholic day has slipped away

It crept on in and had its way

How or why I can never really say

It just shows up and paints things grey

If I had to describe it somehow, in some simple way

To coalesce to something I can convey

I’d say the mood sends me deep in thought

Of the feeling that my life is nought

I become overwhelmed with the idea that I am not beloved

That caring hands are deceitfully gloved

That endearment towards me is not quite pure

Am I truly loved? I’m not really sure.

Reason tells me that these feelings aren’t true

A cloudy facade that I need to see through

But the grey is opaque with sadness and strife

I’m convinced that the true facade is my life

But then the next day the cloud moves along

Showing me all of those feelings were wrong

My life has goodness and love all around

I see it again as if it’s newfound

So, I see those days as a necessary course

Not so much a drain, but a source

Not a shadow that shrouds life dismally

But a prism that reveals the joy more vividly
