Silent Crystal Tear Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sweeping away cobwebs of derelict thoughts, placing
them in the dust bin where they belong.

Feeling the intensity of heart-ache and pain bouncing
along the walls of my chest, attempting to forget and
let truth be stifled inside.

None of it matters when you look into the future and
see the next horizon just ahead, all is useless chatter,
noisy circumstances not worth looking into.

Gently strumming the advocates of serenity and pious
silence, searching and locating what is left in defiant
piles of puzzles.

Curtains closing upon decades after each heroic attempt
made in life, shattering the existence of irrevocable
destiny with a crystal tear of silence.

Turning away once more, walking the pathway to sunset's
last horizon on a final shore.

Life doesn't exist on this one anymore.
