A Silent Knowing Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Watching everything, looking at it all as if it's the
last time I will ever see it.

A silent knowing remains fixed in my heart and won't
let go, it occupies a corner in my mind all my days.

Life is powerful in thought, yet death will always
win out.

Living, I extract nature and beauty, keeping it far
from death's arms, saving it on pages of poetry, so
a particle of self will always remain with loved ones
on earth.
