When upon your mind trouble lays

When upon your mind trouble lays

Its shadow and all you see is loss

Of love and life -- and dreadful days

Lie like broken blankets all across

The lonely landscape of living

And no one is blaming anyone

For this misfortune -- and no one

Can even think of forgiving -- 

Because your suffering is not the fault

Of man nor God -- nor can prayer halt

The disease that has come upon you -- --

There's nothing to say and nothing to do.

You capture well the listlessness of depression that arrives without warning and refuses to leave until it is ready. A sad but very effective piece of writing x
