Beyond Beds Of Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Realistically noticing lasting effects of grief upon this
mind, feeling every moment of sadness and hearing prayers
that have been prayed through the years.

Wanting a true and perfect love of innocence all my own,
not wanting to share it with anyone but you.

Darkness like a shade, folding over, trying to omit feelings
and desires, yet not allowing it to chill me to the bone.

Pushing it from me, letting in the light of your unconditional
love to soothe and take me to heaven.

Being together as one, holding onto the unison we have found
beyond beds of life, now sleeping together with our love
tucked within each other.
