Keeping Distance Subconsciously Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Rocking mentally in depths of music for hours, not even seeing or hearing anything, feeling totally alone and loving every moment of its solace and serenity.

Writing to rhythms and tempos subconsciously, finding pathways and passages in which to bury oneself totally in its serenity.

Attempting to keep a large distance between self and others in order to be oneself, having moments alone, and preferring to keep the distance between self and others.
