Purpose Being Forgotten Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Having to go deep within, feeling sorrow and sadness
holding onto each other through loss in life of loved
ones.

Stepping into the light, power and energy fulfilling
my being and spirit, keeping secrets to myself, lost
and alone in nighttime dreams.

Realizing the beauty of an environment beyond this
life on earth, storms coming and going, leaving very
few reminders of what they were meant for.

Their purpose being forgotten so soon after they a-
light on this earth, striking like lightening, then
disappearing with the clouds above.
