Mizzle Mist Kiss

Winter Rain Melancholy

"Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining, I can’t avoid the lightning" — Travis

Drenching drizzle,

Scotch mist kiss

Bleak, stark, dismal dark

Dreary drab

Drizzly deluge

Heavy heart

Drenched refuge

Desolate downpour

Dreary tarp sky

Splashed with fog

grim, tragic smog

Gritty mist

Driving drops

Mizzle rain

Weeping drain

A hankering ache

Stormy doom

Gloomy days

A dreary room

A melancholy phase

Bleak, wet winters

desperate, miserable,

hopeless grey

Cats and dogs

Blustery sprinkle

Savage showers

Dribble drips twinkle

Could you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)? The Mayo Clinic says:

“Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons — seasonal affective disorder (SAD) begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you’re like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. These symptoms often resolve during the spring and summer months. Less often, SAD causes depression in the spring or early summer and resolves during the fall or winter months.

Treatment for SAD may include light therapy (phototherapy), psychotherapy, and medications.

Don’t brush off that yearly feeling as simply a case of the “winter blues” or a seasonal funk that you have to tough out on your own. Take steps to keep your mood and motivation steady throughout the year.”

    Beautiful poem! My dear friend used to suffer from it, now he just takes Saint John's Wart tincture every year and he does not have any issues with it any more. Herbs are the original medicine 💚🌿
