Forever Shadows Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Riding down highways throughout the night, thinking of life as I
ride by houses in darkness, people sleeping soundly, never know-
ing that I've passed by them.

A wonder that amazes me when thought of, there are so many people
whom I'll never meet, they will remain forever strangers through-
out the years.

Wondering at times had we met would we have been friends, would we
have done things together, would our families been happy to have
met.

All these thoughts running through my mind, riding down highways
in the night, also thinking and wondering if anyone that's now
reading this poem has ever been on the roads I've traveled on.

If so, thinking maybe you're one of the forever shadows now in
my life and poetry, wondering what would have happened if we
had actually met.
