Embraced By Loneliness

He was embraced by depressing loneliness While dancing with the shadows of despair But hoping was he, her smile to shine again For the path to happiness, him to prepare! © Demetrios Trifiatis 26 October 2015 I dedicate this poem to my friend, Tommy Boy, who reminded me "there remains hope - John 5:28,29. always hope!" I, from my part, reminded him of Pandora's box and the story told by Hesiod the 7th century BC. where hope is our only friend!
