My ship has been tossed <br />Helplessly on its side upon the shore. <br /> <br />Even beneath beautiful blue skies, <br />My heart is sunk and my eyes <br />Just float in a sea of tears. <br /> <br />No Sunday walks in flowery parks <br />Or beer toasts in friendly bars <br />Will find me now. <br /> <br />The only songs I have to sing <br />Are desolate dirges <br />To the desperate moon. <br /> <br />My thoughts of love <br />And romantic sway of words <br />Sadly give way <br />To all the loneliness inescapable.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-all-must-face-the-defeat-of-our-souls/
