Torn being

Dark clouds hang over space With a heavy head , I sit desolate A passer-by can tell by my stance Or by a mere gaze at my face That I have been beaten by the seasons I bow my head and have a look at my hollow chest To have a glimpse at the grey horizon Behind my back My weak knees support my elbows As my frail fingers caress the fragile Skin still holding my bones. Why am I here, I ask my self, For my whole being has been torn from me

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
