Tracing Reality Of Loss Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

There's no way to find the path to enlightenment when
going through death's embrace.

Sorrow finding it's way into my heart, a genuine heart-
felt feeling of love that generates itself constantly.

Never any prodding needed from anyone else, just tracing
the reality of your loss, taking every ounce of pleasure
from my life.

There's nothing left to hold onto without tears pouring
upon the floor of my soul, knowing one another, seeing
the emptiness that has come between us forever.
