Fragile Sadness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Fragile Sadness



Holding on to fragile rays of once upon a lightened life,
twisting and holding them in a tangled array of doubt.

Stampeding through endless spans of time, cascading from
a mountaintop into the fury of a rapid destiny of death.

Sorrows not able to follow past death's doors, releasing
one from a sadness no one could ever know of.

Never speaking of it to anyone without fear of being
rejected or locked up forever to protect this so-called
life.

Drenched in tears of sadness all these long years, do not
mourn, know that at last I'm fee and happy, doing what I
always wanted to.

Tears cannot be shed unless they are tears of joy, because
of all the pain and hurt of a sorrowful life on earth.

Serene and no longer empty or abandoned by those who said
they cared, now resting in the arms of my creator, forgiven
for wanting to be there.
