Distant Shadows Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Shadows of distant reminiscing, foreclosing on life,
taking away it's field of vision.

Torn apart by shattered remains of incessant lies,
falling face down, afraid of getting up.

Slicing through a tainted atmosphere, pulling along
wayward thoughts, attempting to stash them in iron
file boxes.

Shadows no longer playing in empty hallways of a
mind, they have met and attached themselves to
memories, making them clear at long last.
