Tears Remain Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Traces of tears remain etched in my mind's heart on
days of sorrow, marked in calendar's of grief.

Stained and soiled, always marring thoughts with
regrets and loss, as I pick my way through images
and their emotional feelings.

Figuring ways to live alongside these tumultuous
visions, seeing their reality staring into my
consciousness as I weep words of prose onto paper
with pen in hand.

Telling everyone who will read these tell-tale
signs of a grieving poet, living on a planet of
existence.
