lost in the clouds up on mountain high
stuttering unselfishly where eagles cry
sought the solution to correct the morrow
gritting his teeth not to succumb to sorrow

down deep  the abyss of the bottomless pit 
finding hard to saunter around or to even sit
entertaining penance of wrongs of yesteryear
a realization mournfully of the lingering fear

mustering courage listlessly tugging for strength
an uncanny episode deja vu browsing at length
remembering it fizzled in the shadows quietly
inaction with less worry the solution eventually

not to worry sick but to stamp out the depression
it worked before not much hurt but still a solution

  6. Great use of rhyme and form and it fits the prompt. Now, I have this song looping in my head.

    Love lift us up where we belong
    Where the eagles cry
    On a mountain high
