Quiescent Time Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Solemnly enticing an inner conflict to emerge and let
itself be known.

Wanting to be energized and learn everything there is
to know, yet not being able to do it in the time that
is left here on earth.

Resigning self to the facts, deciding to learn what-
ever I am able to while I can still function mentally
and intelligently.

Living in the quiescent time of life, enjoying the
mentality of intellect.
