No Mercy Shown

like scents of honeysuckle,

 a moment in time 

filled a void

 warming a cold heart 

to feel again and employ

 a gentle kingdom 

    of new incentives; 

to live again 

throwing emptiness away 

leaving depression felt pain 

    pinned by winter's 

stronghold on sadness

planning another storm

   with no mercy shown 

If you can find that word mercy,

     in this cold world 

 with salvation blended

 sad hearts may then be mended

I like the hopefulness of this poem. It really speaks to me. My depression tends to get worse during this time of year. It's as if my heart recognizes the bleak coldness instinctively. This piece gave me a little bit of warmth to start the day.
