Imminent Loss Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Nowhere thoughts settling in for the long haul, recognizing
sadness and betrayal.

Despondent heart softly held within, faced with another
prospect of imminent loss.

Feeling tears of sorrow now, knowing soon, they will be shed
for someone dear.

Backing away, praying that it will not happen, knowing only
it will soon occur whether or not I approve.

Stillness of my soul remains in silent awakening, tears
readying themselves for passing.

Acknowledging thoughts of sorrow, bravely facing it with
soulful peace and quiet tearing.
