Eventually I would come to see that depression
Could not keep me from experiencing joy in
Life, it could only stop the light from shining for a moment but
I would find the light again, shining as bright as it did before and
People would be warmed by the joy that radiates and
Shines, because despair cannot block out the light forever and
Even on the hardest day, you must remember- this too shall pass

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I liked how you compared depression to an eclipse. Great poem.
