Lonesome Darkness Of Night Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Shadows awakening to another nighttime moon shining upon earth
fully, unfolding their arms, reaching into the light they find
themselves encased in.

Pious feelings of sacredness touch minds quietly as people walk
towards home after a long day of toil, trudging silently, let-
ting the moon sooth their frazzled nerves.

Feeling the emptiness coming heavily upon their hearts in this
lonesome darkness of night, thoughts running through their minds
of a once upon a time when happiness was theirs.

It's no longer within their scope of realization, sojourn jour-
neys being brought to forebear on minds filled with apprehension
and silent pleadings.

Hoping that tomorrow will bring some joy or happiness to wipe a-
way tears of this night's loneliness, steering the way clear to
find a path through it all.
