Embracing

In-congruent lines

Meet vivid intersections

Of self doubt and shame

 

Shining memories

Empty

But effulgent

 

Staring into nothingness

I find this philosophy of mine

Dark

Distant

An over-analysis

Of a distant daydream

I chose to disown

 

The misfortune of all I covet

The death of a daydream

The end of a sunset

Seeing only crimson

 

Insight of the mind

Into one, grief filled, as mine

 

Knowing only that

There is no knowing

Only atoning

One sin at a time

One memory hoarded at a time

For a moment of joy

I don't deserve

 

This is the way I pray

 

Shameful sunsets

Atoning for shallow self interest

Effulgent prayer

 

Misfortune of insight

Of embracing the sunset

Embracing the crimson

Embracing death

 

Embracing

 

Embracing

 

Empty
