just sharing my thoughts....


My Small Miracle




It's the craziest thing,
I woke up yesterday, and for once
I didn't curse the birds for being happy
The dishes on the sink, the bills on the table
Didn't phase me at all....
For the first time in ages, I walked my dog
The sky seemed so blue, the air so clear
I felt good inside, I mean REALLY good
Without a partner or praise
Just happy, to be me, to be alive
Last night, I swore I smiled in my sleep
The skeptic in me thought...
"This will pass, this can't be real...."
But then I woke this morning
Feeling the same way!
No drugs, no pills, no positive affirmations
Just a true, pure belief in my heart
That things will finally be okay
Whatever comes my way, I can deal with
Somehow, my black cloud has vanished
And life is beautiful again
My son and I were laughing today
Saying if I could bottle this
I could make a fortune....
But I am already fortunate
And grateful enough to share this for free
Call me crazy....
But I'm looking forward to tomorrow

:-)

This is a wonderful, uplifting work (sensed as biographical as well)that you have shared with us for "free". What a gift! For knowing of your joy expressed as you have here,in conquering depression, transferrs the joy to others.....this is more than a small miracle. God Bless You, Rachel.

I too have experienced this emergence from clinical depression. It enters your conscious mind exactly as you've described it. The feeling is genuine and real and noticable. I commend you for the accumen of this piece, Rachael!

Good for you, I think they must have bottled happiness today after having read your poem and Jenks - it is most definitely an infectious feeling :-) I love positive poems like this, they just ooze the joy of life
