A Place Of Understanding Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Taking pictures in my mind, fulfilling the beauty of nature as it continues to surround me with it's explicit reasons for being born.
Saying whatever I feel falls instead, out on this paper.
Can you see or feel the heaviness inside me as I write of it, trying to explain it as softly and honestly as I can possibly do?
Rearranging emotions, filing them away, taking them out again, always losing a place of understanding as I try to explain in plain simple English.
Thinking instead, in my native language of Sicilian - giving my personality a presence to become.
