Notes About The Poem

My late wife,

Shannon Darnell

May you Rest In Peace.

Shannon, I love you and miss you very much until we meet again.

Embraced

Embraced 

As we lay next to each other, 
Not embraced
It breaks my heart. 

We wake each morning day, 
Holding one another
But still never embraced. 

It tears at my being, 
That I long to be with you. 

As my heart yearns and longs, 
To touch your heart
To caress your mind 
And to embrace your soul. 

It's endless, as to the touch of a flower. 

I have searched the highs and lows, 
The mountains to the sea 
And the sea to the heavens above. 

And now, the embraceable has been found, 
In the yearning heart like mine. 

For the beauty that she shows, 
And the love that she shares
It's far beyond anything 
I have dreamed of. 

To this, I thank you, 
For the embrace that you've given to me
That I have only dreamed it to be.
