Interior Pools Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Losing self, swimming through sorrow and grief, trying to
keep my head above water, tears falling into interior pools
already filled.

Loneliness, abandonment and emptiness left over from loss,
expecting nothing from life because when I do I'm always
disappointed and left bereft and alone.

Sensing the Divine through a bluened universe within, keep-
ing hope and faith alive somehow with promises God gave to
humanity when creating us.

Loving and following Him all through life, keeps me focused,
positive and moving forward.
