Impression Of Mourning Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sounds of mourning filling the air, crying and weeping
over the loss of a loved one, prayers rising to heaven,
another candle has been snuffed out.

Now living no more on this earth, comfort and love have
disappeared from family and friends, distant oceans are
calling, tides rushing in and out.

Taking life with them, death stepping up and filling it's
quota once again while onlookers grieve, tears pouring
from within their hearts and souls.

A lasting sorrow now filling their beings, no reprieve
from loss for it's an everlasting emptiness held within
each of us when death is present.
