Hoping For Light Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Tears of life are falling into this mind, heart feeling the
pressure of their sadness over and over again through the
years.

Lying awake late at night, reliving past memories through
photographic images that never fade nor disappear, reflec-
tions mirroring feelings and emotions of grief and loss.

Nothing to ease their pain, having learned to experience them
fully whenever they appear in this mind, toiling through the
darkness alone.

Hoping for some light, knowing it will never come from within
the sadness or sorrow of this life, constantly wondering how
to continue through it and begin living once again.
