Taking Away The Reason Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Silencing this heart, wanting it to stop it's ceaseless beat-
ing taking away the reason of this life, never cooperating
as yet, continuing to keep my essence and spirit alive.

No matter what conspires in the years ahead, a loneliness
being fulfilled through sorrow that has filled me incessant-
ly and completely.

Dwelling in the solitude of another dimension, nothing ever
changing as the light begins to ebb and fade on this my last
day of life.

Horizon now closing over me, blocking out memories of what
once was or might have been, now just peeking over the edge
and loving what I see there, ready to leave this earth now.
