Flame by dejohnsrld (Debbie)

Flame
 
Fight as I might to resist it
Winter descends upon my world
Thus at my attempt to live life
A looming depression is hurled
 
As my resources to resist
Are beaten down by darkened night
Gray skies infect the afternoons
I continue seeking a light

On bleak long days I search for flame
Crackles of fireplace warm my heart
A candle’s glow will light my way
From warmth and light depression parts
 
Glad that a flame has chased away
Darkness from deep within my soul
Life once again is shining bright
Leaving me forever grateful

Author Notes
I know. I wasn't trying to write another one on this subject, it just happened. Hopefully this ends on a more positive note.

Rhymes and proximate rhymes are used

Thanks to Angelheart for always having the perfect artwork
