Peaceful Love Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sadness sweeps itself across my line of sight, showing the
depression that covers me this night.

Full of hopelessness, the spirit of joy is nowhere to be
found, life is a cavity that cannot be filled until death
has occupied it.

Finding nothing but emptiness and black, falling deeply
inside a cavernous pit, awaiting the end of it, stillness
filling my being deep within.

Setting aside the bleakness, listening intently, sounds
penetrate this mind, touching my heart, filling me way
down deep with a peaceful love.

Joy surges through every inner fiber of being, healing,
touching, setting me free to be myself, guiding me.

Loving totally, peace is left, life has taken on new
meaning since being set free from within this soul.
