Living Alone Poetically Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Silent and soft, emphatically stating loneliness as it
touches this heart intensely, midnight coming and going,
leaving me in the darkness of another time.

Filled with grief that cannot be shared, strangers tak-
ing me into myself, so deeply that I can never again be
seen, except in the poetry that your read during life.

Stretching self across many horizons, living in each of
them separately, together, seasons al coming together
in filters of my mind.

Colors exploding, lifting spirits higher with every note
and sound, like lightening taking my mind creatively in-
to another phase where no one else can follow.

An emptiness filling me completely, taking my being off
into outer space, living alone poetically, loving the
solitude it gives to me.
