Abyss Of Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Staring out into the abyss of life, feelings of
emptiness creep inside.

Taking hold of a heart's vulnerable places, it
pushes it's way in, leaving no where for the
tears to fall except out.

Wondering for only seconds, why life is so painful,
brushing away the tears from love sent up above.

Love is so sacred and holy, that when it is lost in
death, it's very hard to hold on.

Minutes elapse slowly, life seems to be continuing
in slow motion.

There is nothing more to do in life, except touch
others with love and acceptance.

Everything else loses it's meaning, because death
consumes us, leaving nothing left but dust.

We are but pilgrims in this world, awaiting our
final destiny from God.
