Comment from Dawn Munro
You have captured the spirit of bipolar illness so well, and contrasted it with renewal through meditation - such an inspiration for those suffering the same debilitating state of being - kudos on a poem well-penned and hopeful.

'Winds Of Change.' This is truly an excellent poem you have crafted here. I enjoyed it, and thought it read as smooth as glass. Well done.

Earthwriter I understand the twists and turns of depression more than I'd like admit. I really enjoyed your expression throughout your poem. Thank you ever much for sharing it was a pleasure to read.

Your dramatically decriptive, thought-provoking poem effectively describes means of dealing with bipolar illness. The bipolar people I know MUST have medication; meditation doesn't suffice.

Tried mediation, but failed at it. I know practice would probably solve that problem. I think you need to have darkness because without it how would you know what true light is? The key is balance. Glad that you found that balance. Thanks for sharing. Les

Comment from Alan K Pease
Lovely story of your resurrection to a life of fruitfulness in verse and the steps you took to see a lightness of day again. Poetry is useful to seize our moods and direct them to better use.

Good tempo in this poem, Earthwriter, with a nice abab rhyme scheme. So good to see you posting again, my friend. It has been a long time. I hope that the meditation and focus you are working with is bringing you some comfort.
Discovering new hope through meditation
life seems worth living again
Acknowledging negative emotions
putting them in their place
Yep - That's the way to do it.
Rose.

Beautiful poem where you describe depression very well. This is my favorite stanza...
Learning to live in the moment
not letting the brain control.
Trading the past for present
reuniting with the depths of my soul.
In this I detect hope and that is just wonderful. Have a nice day and keep on writing.

great job here of identifying the condition without bogging the piece down with its description which often happens. this flows beautifully along dealing with the effects and emotions while acknowledging that it is indeed a condition. an excellent and helpful piece. mike
