Solitary Environment Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Straying quietly into mountainous deserts, happily enjoying
moments spent in remembering, climbing them ever since being
eleven years old.

Loving the peace and serenity of climbing their heights alone,
wonder of their origins playing within intellect, creating all
sorts of fantasies to entertain self.

Totally engrossed with beauty of nature in a solitary environ-
ment where humanity itself has never set foot, always having
found spaces throughout their spacious and grandeur of being.

Intimately growing a spiritual life whenever going climbing
alone, never having any fear, just feeling safe and protected,
knowing God was always with me.

Enjoying seeing that a person appreciates the wonder on earth
that He Himself has created, a smile on His face, so happy
that there are people who love what He's created.
