Heard You Dying Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Finding no one to talk to, sealing a promise of death,
sending out signals to all who are drowning, holding on
to each other.

Tossed on the sea of darkness, eyes filled with sand,
turning over and over to an unheard of rhythm.

Standing on walls of silence, eating words of wisdom,
while being tossed on the sea of darkness, lost forever.

No one seeming to care, no laughter, no one to hear our
prayer, lying in front of a chapel, dying, no one daring
to care, no one to share.

Anger hangs in the air, no one cared about a life, they
sent it dying in the grips of hell.

Tossed on a sea of darkness, mirrors of images cast, no
one here to see the last of mankind crying, falling into
depths of evil.

All the sorrow of earth being felt in hearts, feeling it's
pain, unable to do anything to stop it.

Tossed on the sea of darkness, fallen under the gentle waves,
life has been tossed into darkness below a watery grave.
