Heaven's Night Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Hiding within, no longer wanting to come out and see
the world, for it will only bring betrayal again.

Doubts constantly preying, causing memories to toss
and turn.

Hating the existence of life this moment, afraid to
voice the silence which stands within me.

Sordidly concentrating, wrecking havoc, killing peace
of mind.

Totally unheard of this day, waking to the sound of
life clamoring, falling down around me.

Settling into pits of fire, brought down to hell,
startled into an absent fortitude, lasting no little
while.

Making sense does not fit in with how I feel right
now.

Books can fill pages, I can read, but there are no
words here, nothing makes sense.

Alive, yet without a place to go, loneliness stands
upon the edge of heaven's night, this time for a
final moment.
