Musical Blessings Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sorrow standing on stages, fulfilling the emptiness
of death with heart-felt joy at helping others feel
peace and happiness they themselves don't feel.

Entering realms of music's depths, losing selves in
tunes of yesterday, setting aside thoughts and
images to confide in musical blessings of blissful
healing numbness for now.

Notes of historical grief forward themselves onto
pages of music to be felt without tears for the
time being.
