Short Horizon Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Standing out among the rest of the world,
brightly lit interiorly, with genuine
creativeness and intellect.

Forfeiting an albatross of daily rules and
authority to revel in a vast realm of
imagination.

Solemnly vowing to never break silence held
gently, carefully and protectively within.

Many scores of lifetime years parade beyond
short horizons of earthly courtship before
all ends in a parlor of eventual death.

Alone with thought for an eternity, unafraid
to explore and venture forth, I am here to
validate my self until the end of time.
