-an Empty Embrace- Poem by Daniel Richards

I’m sitting here embracing
The early morning sun
Praying that my iced inside so numb
Thaw before its withdrawing run

The heavens begin to unravel and
Down comes the pouring rain
I’m still sitting embracing the sun
But heavenly hopes begin to unravel and
Will soon be undone

Becoming a shadow rebounding the rays
Eclipsed by the pain it seems,
Loosing my colors to my grays
Walking on broken beams
And falling in many ways
