Cannot Fight Destiny Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sounding the alarm, sending me into a frenzy of emotions,
not knowing which way to turn, heading downward into the
cisterns of earth, alone and forgotten.

Knowing only that I will keep falling all the days of my
life, because that is my destiny and I cannot fight it,
except through poetry.

Incessantly keeping it in the forefront, never letting it
cool down, energizing only my mind, keeping it on the path-
way to my final sunset.
