golden light

"golden light, shot through the darkness....."

golden light

golden light
shot through the darkness
from my mind, 
cupped in my hand
illuminating;
I’d had my share of
illusion
and I learned that 
depression
dark as night
feared illusive device.

I am never sad now
never down now
never upset now
just different shades
of happiness and tiredness
expectations always met,
surprised I don’t 
have an ulcer yet,
always bent to please -
these illusions are now
ruling me.
