Setting My Soul Ablaze Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Fire burning within my heart, setting my soul ablaze
with promises of heaven.
Sensing throughout life's hallways, I go trudging
through bittersweet puddles of darkened sorrow.
Grief cementing my feet to the ground with it's
intensity and emptiness, abounding in the remainder
of this lonely existence.
Sorrowfully playing melodies in imagination, while
waiting for the insight that so often comes from
inner derision and abject aplomb of life's fate and
destiny.
Abandoned and lonely at the end without a moments rest.
