GRIEF Poem: Swallowed By Shadows, by Michael Shapiro

Rain under the sun
A crow comes to call
Tomorrow, Fading
Entering the fall

Instrument in hand
Chamber full of grief
Lost in my shadow
Lonely, disbelief

Searching for my youth
Where are days gone by?
Past feels long ago
Regrets never die

Hopelessly crying
Without knowing why
Sadness overwhelms
Running out of tries

Self-isolating
Starless moonless night
Windows sealed, doors locked
Darkness sheds no light
