Soaking

The sunshine, the wind, and the blue sky comfort me in my loneliness
I sit in the midst of it all
soaking in the light hoping that it will end the darkness

My darkness, my depression, my imbalance as it were,
but all of this is in my mind
I can control it, I am sure

This serenity that's around me soothes my pain
it doesn't lift me up,
but it helps me maintain

Out here I am free from my dark room
I am set free
from my overwhelming gloom

This sunshine, this warmth,
would be the same,
even if I was reading my bible in the rain.
