Loss Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

A deep abyss has stretched itself out these many
months, leaving an empty darkness filling the
space.

Whenever someone's death touches human life a
vacuum forms to help contain and carry on a
person's life.

It can be felt through a heart's sensitive loss,
wanting to touch, to feel, to talk again to a
loved one, it becomes such an empty hole, life
falls down into it's deep, deep well.

No one can reach into it and pull you out, when
you are ready it will disperse itself and bring
you back out into the open to continue living
life.

It is an empty, lonely place where all must somehow
face their loss and continue on their journey to
the end of life, themselves.

Where they will one day meet with friends and
relatives, trying to overcome the loss of you.
