Beyond Ourselves Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Programming our minds with life experiences,
hoping to avoid mistakes being repeated in
the future.

Holding onto feelings and emotions, discovering
limits and boundaries of human frailty, exercising
mind, body and spirit in order to think outside
the box.

Finding ways to travel into other areas of life,
undiscovered as yet, but believing in the essence
of transformation, planning ideas that fill my mind
with openings.

Constructing new pathways into the future and beyond
ourselves, articulating and being enlightened along
the way spiritually with the hope and faith of our
spirits within.

An essence of beauty always enfolding and illuminating
new adventures to be taken, challenging and daring the
past to be broken apart and a new tomorrow to develop,
enveloping the world with peace, comfort and serenity.
