Knowing The Signs Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Mind awakened by rhythms lilting throughout my mind, touch-
ing feelings and emotions intensely, usurping sanity at
times through loss and grief that've certainly filled my life.

Being crippled at times by the sadness, emptiness and loneli-
ness, somehow finding a way back even though the tears never
end.

Drowning in oceans of abandonment being felt throughout my
being, taking me into depths filled with shadows of death,
there I dwell for moments in time.

Learning whatever I can about how it makes me feel to lose
loved ones, also, seeing the other side, knowing the signs
and feelings they were attuned to as death took hold of
them and they succumbed to it's deathly grasp in the end.
