Distance Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Distance



On islands high in my mind, altering magically, the world I
live in.

Taking fear, and anguish, hiding it between clouds that I no
longer have to see as I watch them gather distance from me.

Happily dancing, freedom gladdens my heart, my soul is light,
carefree, no longer bound by the extreme of life.

Caught together in clumps of tangled weeds, not caring any
longer, allowing them to grow and wander where they will,
taking little notice of what they do in my life.

Writing to recognize thoughts and shaking memories when it
is time.

One day finally realizing they are choking inner talents and
pulling them out by their roots.

Building a pile, burning them entirely and blowing the ashes
to the winds in all directions, never seeing them again.
