Feeling Free Within Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Walking along sandy shores, feeling right and free within,
no more saddled with the objects of earthly wants, only
focused on tomorrow's horizons beyond sight.

Looking into self, seeing bright shining stars, holding
onto desires, keeping them safe and sound above.

Watching waves crashing and ebbing on shore, listening to
their incessant sounds and rhythms, filling my soul with
genuine delight, bringing a smile to my heart and face.

Nothing crowding out my mind with absent-minded thoughts
or worries of earthly things.

Solemnly bringing in pastimes of yesterday's memories,
allowing them to fill me with satisfying feelings, lasting
through the rest of my lifetime as short as it has become.
