Increasing Power Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Increasing Power



Remembering the past helps to not make so many mistakes
in the present.

Hopefully eliminating them altogether from the future,
continually learning and doing my best to increase brain
power towards intellect.

Using every particle and fiber to do many things in this
life, increasing power of inner strength and character,
never allowing it to ebb, continuing to keep pace with
an individual and innate talent.

Wishing to expand and push away limits and boundaries
that stand in the way at any given time, soundly moving
them with all the will power at my disposal, always get-
ting my way while writing poetry beyond edges of what is
expected of me.

Pablo Neruda published a book of poems near the end of his life called FULLY EMPOWERED. The poems were not that different than what he been writing for the past ten or twelve years, but he sensed that the power he had invested in others through his words was effortless. He had reached his highest creative plateau. That's what your 4th stanza does, and the last one elaborates it. Of course Neruda was sui generis, and you are RoseAnn. But there is a common purpose of creativity that links all of us poets, and it's important to celebrate that link. And you already identified what you will do with your powers - to write poetry BEYOND THE EDGES OF WHAT'S EXPECTED OF ME.
