depression can lift at the sound of a bird

go with those unexpected  flights that take you  up from the depths

and when you  descend  again

then be gentle     be ferocious

be patient    do not wait

act upon your  world      rest

join with others

be alone

there is no answer to the pain

to the joy

to the deliberate acts of meanness

to the random acts of kindness

being human has its cost

but being cold and remoseless

disconnected  and untouchable

is worse.

the breeze is here for now

and the traffic noise

and  the mixed variation of light and dark

all of it is the same and ever changing.

like us.
