Final Piece Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reflections of sorrow fall within teardrops, representing
our feelings of sadness through grief and loss - harried,
tense, bereft, looking for a way to cope.

These intense and outlandish feelings and emotions are
taking our lives into jungles of bereavement and emptiness,
searching for answers, finding none.

There's no puzzle piece to complete pictures of our lives
except the final one of our deaths, but most of us not want-
ing to see it.

Pretending that all is well, choosing not to look into depths
of our final endings, being too much for most people to com-
prehend.
