Heart-Rending Melodies Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Collecting memories at last, finding emotional ties that coalesce with reminders of yesterday's passage.
Sounding loudly, traipsing over many measures lying back and falling over.
Sensing a beauty set beyond life's acquiescence, giving a beacon to follow one day in the future.
Shining lights showing the way to ever-ending horizons in life's catacombs.
Underground darkness closing in around my mind, trying to press it for grieving images to participate in sounding of heart-rending melodies, keeping time on schedule so as not to collapse.
