Stripping Away Sorrow Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wandering through darkness and gloom, feeling it penetrating
this poetical life, not wanting to partake of it's sadness
right now.

Stripping away the sorrow, pilfering it's stringent feelings
that insist on proliferating themselves interiorly, mind not
allowing it to happen.

Cautiously keeping it from forming any attachments to inner
feelings, preferring to stay deep inside where hope stills
life quietly, keeping me centered even when I can feel noth-
ing more is there.
