Being Awakened Once More Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Frolicking and playing in fields of music, watching it ebb
and flow like a river into the ocean before me, tantalizing
possibilities, daring to challenge every thought coming alive.

Being awakened once more in depths of another world, changing
and rearranging ideas and concepts, giving them all a forum
in which to express themselves.

Standing up for truths in life, taking pathways always lead-
ing towards heaven for that's where my heart has been left,
wanting only to be at peace once again.

Placing my heart on a platter of clouds to keep it from
getting hurt any further, touching effervescent places of
inner solitude.

Accessing serenity needed to continue living this life as I
have already, free and liberated, finding my own way in this
world.

Alone, never waylaid, always knowing where I'm going at any
given time, surprising self in the process at times, never
looking back, awaiting my last breath on earth peacefully.
