Darkness Enfolding Us In India Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Darkness has now enfolded us here in India, taking us into
shadows of night, glimpsing bits and pieces through both
moonlight and lights from the ground.

A sacred and blessed beauty standing on the horizon of my
future which now includes India, a country that I dearly
love, now having experienced it first-hand.

It's poverty brought tears to my eyes and heart, yet the
smiles on children's faces belies the truth of their cir-
cumstances in spite of them.

Blinders off, seeing the honest portrayal of it's people
and countryside, a wonderful and expressive experience
being had while here with my dearest and closest friend.
