Fighting The Demon Of Depression Poem by Dorsey Baker

He opens
the window blind
and the sun
comes marching in
he forces his body
out of bed
he walks outside
where the grass is green
takes a breath
of fresh air!
waves across the street
a neighbor
is mowing his lawn
the neighbor
waves back
wearing a smile
he hears
the sound of a bird
singing a song
its voice is
very beautiful!
his mind
starts to clear
the clutter
as his eyes
focus on the
crystal clear skies
reminding him
that laughter
is still
the best medicine!
