Living In Sadness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Silent, enticing, watching starlight twinkle high
above in the universe.

Stepping high and low, searching for a place to
belong again.

Having been taken from all I'd ever known, deprived
of a close-knit family love at a very young age.

Living in this sadness through the years, knowing
now, tears left behind for those whom I loved dearly.

No longer living here on earth, death having taken
them from me cruelly.

After tearing me from them at a young and tender age,
an emptiness, a void, always filling me.

No one here to fill this empty hole left within my
being.
