Totally Connected Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living between edges of life and death, traveling back
and forth between them.

Enjoying feelings as they fill me with both life and
death, showing their many aspects to me constantly.

Continuing to progress through them, touching upon the
beauty and quiet stillness, intensifying within each one.

In turn, following faint trails through each of them,
enjoying the fresh newness as they are touching me.

Being tantalized by their scents and aromas, taunting
me incessantly as I come along, closer to each one.

Loving this effervescent appeal that is spread through-
out the atmosphere, feeling great pleasure from it.

Solid and beautiful, effects streaming throughout this
being on a constant basis.

Looking back on everything, knowing that it's memories
will never leave me behind.

Noticing that life and death, while looking directly at
them, are totally connected, nothing between them.

We just travel from one to another on our earthly journey
through this life.
