How can one’s surrounds
Be such aching bliss
Where all the light and shade
Should meld as one, sublime?
Yet inside, the cloying dark;
The whispers and the thorns
That tear a soul apart
And leave the shell to die?

Thanks, VJ. I’ve been suffering from depression my whole life. I guess it pays off sometimes 😊

Me too, Steve. That’s why I recognize it so quickly. Gives us depth, I’m going to say.
