Swallowed By Loss Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Swallowed By Loss



Breaking waves crashing over me in the darkness of grief,
knocking me down, falling into the ocean's darkened grave
of loss.

Tears having been washed away as I sank to the bottom, not struggling, wanting to die in this fathomless space, never
again to surface.

Feeling nothing, vision blurry beneath the waves, a dream-
like trance giving relief from all the turmoil, as I slow-
ly continue to sink into nothingness, being swallowed by
loss and grief.
