No Reason For Loss Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Interpreting sounds of music into poetry, intellect
surpassing itself in these endeavors.

Always keeping time with rhythms, chords spelling
meanings of another world.

Being held together in quiet, somber tones of grief,
wallowing in tears of sorrow, not allowing steps of
tomorrow to enter here right now.

Violins playing intricate and delicate emotions of
this inner being, tears forming in tiny increments
of drops to be spilled immediately.

Heart pounding, chest heaving with the heaviness of
inner pain since loss has placed it's burden deep
within this soul.

No one else can make it depart from it's throne of
total abandonment, atoning for nothing, having no
regrets.

A silence always continuing to begin, no ending in
sight, eyes looking towards the horizon, hoping to
see the loved one who so quickly vanished from sight.

Leaving only reminders in memories, nothing tangible
to hold onto or hug, just a total aloneness now upon
my being.

This mind incapable of finding any reason for this
loss to have come upon me.
