Sustaining Echoes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Resurrecting solemn emotions from a time now past, experiencing their sustaining echoes even now.
Somber feelings erupting in unwept tears, kept hidden from yesterday's volume of abuse.
Temporary pictures, appearing and disappearing like clouds across the sky in a winter storm.
Alleviating a broken heart, helping it to express itself in utmost secrecy, yet opening up and allowing the blood to flow upon old wounds, cleansing them once again.
Giving life another step up the ladder of death, bringing me closer to a truth of my existence.
