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

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.

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