Carefully Protected Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Resting in a slow moving melody, catching my breath as I
listen to it contemplatively.

Playing with heart strings, being enchanted by the beauty
of similar designs sitting upon my mind.

Watching gently as many signs of approval find their way
into my soul through the nature of life as it falls gently
about me.

Capturing desires, letting them be expressed in statements
of another conversation beyond hearing on earth.

Yet being understood intellectually and placed within innate
talent.

Hearing, seeing and then interpreting all of it into a poem
of intense desire, allowing others to see the depths I can
travel imaginatively through life.

Encompassing ingenuity and carefully protected places hidden
within love, never letting go of them.

Throughout this interior life on adjacent borders and
boundaries of another realm, justifying the wholesome side of
life.
