Within Darkness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living in a corner of today, noticing beauty from within
the darkness of a deep and heartfelt sorrow.

A never-ending dignity unfolding from this soul, being
portrayed in the mind of this mere poet, even as writing
is being done from a hospital room again.

Captive from within mind-melding pain, trying to ignore
it, all the while writing poetry to find a way of dealing
with the intensifying amount of pain in spite of medicine
being given.
