Poetical Strength Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wind furiously blowing through my mind,
mixing and blending ideas with a cognitive memory
of abstraction's definitions and well-thought out verse.
Rocking to and fro, being blown about with a will of
poetical strength.
Loving feelings surging through my being, filling it
with wonder at life's behavior in each of us.
Selecting barriers to keep us apart from another,
yet wanting to be closer than ever to someone else.
Opposite feelings throwing themselves around,
confusing our minds with unheard of rhetoric and rhyme.
Searching forever for records of elation or supposition
on barrier reefs of oceans we have made for ourselves to
keep from being hurt by another.
Far-reaching results contain our every emotion as we
purposely make puzzles of our lives on temporary edges of
short-lived horizons.
