I pause at daybreak <br />And utter prayers with sparrows, <br />I know there will later be <br />Encounters that require <br />Swords and sharp teeth, <br />Violence within turbulent shadows. <br /> <br />The mind is filled with gloom <br />When humanity becomes <br />So many dead numbers <br />That never add up <br />Or fit into an equation, <br />I’ve lost my fascination with romance <br />And can’t become half of a couple. <br /> <br />My heart is a pocketful of spare change, <br />The bank account of love is spent; <br />My arms are meaningless and helpless <br />In the realm of an embrace.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/realm-of-an-embrace/
