Next by Richard ColinsonThe next day will be brighter than today
I shall make it so
Prop myself up
As I resolve to less wallowing
Depression opens doors in the mind
Or perhaps storm drains
For it's a dangerous scrying
Where there is much to see
And much to get washed away
The more of myself I see
The less inclined I am to stir
The frozen observer
Hates movement
