Looking Back Once Again Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Dying within, traveling into denizens of grief where everyone
will one day find themselves absorbed deeply in it's mire, no
escaping it's deathly hands.

Grasping, it as it's just a fact of life on this earth, living
an existence of forbearance, taking what we are able to in stride,
being delivered at times in life by an understanding family member
or close friend, at times by a stranger.

Most of the time though traveling solo throughout this earthly
temporary process, uniting in sorrow, tears bonding us with one
another as our hearts continue to be broken in our lives.

Looking back seeing markers and headstones of all the graves
where our loved ones have been buried throughout the years, tears
moistening our eyes with feelings and emotions that have been left
us through their passing.

Leaving us bereft, alone, forsaken, saddened, and abandoned on
this earthly planet, our temporary home while living our little
lives.
