Slowly Fading Memories Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Extreme sadness touching me interiorly, saturating my heart
with many salted tears of sorrow.

Shaking trees of saddened loss bends my mind and heart in
many directions, taking me through solo journeys of a total
abandonment.

Fulfilling unspoken words of my torn and broken heart, no
one listening, no heavenly understanding touching my mind
with profound wisdom.

Flames burning into intellect with a surpassing light of
loneliness, touching always, the purpose of being.

Culminating in the essence and passion of my totalness, as
I wander forward towards final shores of eternity.

Always standing on edges of it's horizon, still and peace-
ful, as tears still fall from the glimmer of past memories,
now fading slowly with the sunset of life.
