Portraying Lives Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Taking to the skies, living for the independence and
freedom it gives to me interiorly, adjusting life to
fit visions that come to mind whenever writing poetry.

Thoughts always managing to fascinate and amaze me in
every way, living in intellect where there is no pain
because feelings and emotions become intellectual only.

They're frigid and only to be written of through my
mind and intellect, ways of a poet to exist through all
the intense suffering they go through.

A pathway to express everything that we feel in this
deathly life, touching many others with our heartfelt
emotions.

Allowing tears, smiles, laughter, love and compassion
to be poetically expressed, giving everyone a sense of
connection through our feelings when reading each one.

All becoming one with the poet in a poem, vividly seeing
through poetical verses, portrayals of lives of people
that each of us meet or know in one way or another.
