Coming Darkness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Shadows of life are hidden behind the stars that live here
on earth, racked with cancer, living life to the fullest,
tears never allowed to show.

Loving me without restraining or enslaving me in any way,
knowing your heart is breaking with the coming darkness
of your life here on earth's horizon.

Your strength inspires everyone who meets you, as I stand
quietly in the shadows, never jealous at all, for you are
the star in my life.

Wind blowing your essence into the next horizon very soon,
leaving me alone my dear, with memories that we have made
throughout our lives.
