Blinded By Loss Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Lengthening shadows crowd around us when sorrow and
grief come upon our lives.

Ending the peace, joy and happiness that we've felt,
loss is a great crippler of life.

Throwing us into an unwanted darkness, totally alone,
abandoned and forsaken.

Feelings of emptiness fill our beings and we have no
recourse except to experience it.

Unable to see through the tears of sadness, we are
blinded by the loss of our love through death.
