Embrace It All

I rest in my simple, solitary dwelling,
Longing to be desired, not just delighted.
So the daybreak dissolves into dusk,
The feverish heat on my back from the sun
Invisibly fades to frigid shadows.
Night has come unfaltering sediment takes
Back my memory; a soundless out cry
I hear from within; scarceness in human
Compassion is what I perceive; uncommonly
Rare is how I feel; the forsaken tribe is
who I understand; a bewildered tarnish
is what I recognize and a spirited
illustration is what I shall become
