Never Forsaking The Music Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Piano playing softly in my mind, touching chords so
delicately, yet intensely, feeling the presence of
God within my soul.

Treasuring it with my heart and mind, finding life
is taking me joyfully into depths of self, there
finding the passion of my being.

Filled incessantly with the beauty I've found through
the years, so many treasures hidden there, never taken
away, even though there's been so much loss.

Grief, pain and suffering have taken a toll on my life's
mind, such a reprieve of self-respect, love and caring
have formed that I became a person filled with hope.

It continues to live and breathe within my spirit, never
forsaking the music of my soul, for without it I will be
nothing but an empty shell.
