Blanketed Somberness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sun once shining brightly on earth, darkness descending, hiding
it from all of us, soothing us in silent starlight and an effer-
vescent moonlight.

Now taking us into the future without a single word being spoken,
thinking, living, stepping into the beauty and solace of another
moment.

Forever having been taken from us and laced in dreams of a forgotten
time, succinctly being touched in minds of everyone as a stillness
enfolds us all in a blanketed somberness.

Not really ever wanting to see the ending of another day, even
though the darkness turns into a beautiful landscape with silent
shadows standing still throughout the night, silent reminders of
what has already passed.
