Awaiting An Experience Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living in a special place, having passport in hand from
the Department of State, having received it on Saturday.

Ready now to leave for India, the experience of a life-
time awaiting me.

Looking forward to seeing India, being with their gentle
and brilliant people.

Knowing it's going to be a great and wonderful time with
my friend and soulmate while there.

Chosen to represent the United States in a world-wide
poetry anthology is quite an honor for this humble and
mere poet.
