“MR. MELANCHOLY”

“MR. MELANCHOLY”

–

My Pastor has a nickname for me,

For all my poetry read…

He seems to think it’s my character

And what goes on in my head.

–

Jeremiah the Weeping Prophet

Has nothing on me…

Though I write for spiritual profit,

I’m Mr. Melancholy.!

–

Despite momentary speechlessness,

I think that he is right…

But although I am in darkness

I still will follow the Light.

–Jonathan Caswell
