Keeping Interior Beginnings Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life stands calmly around me, keeping interior thoughts
closely wrapped in lacy images and words.

Knowledge of everything has been placed aside, awaiting
wintry times of the soul, capturing the beauty of
maturity's seasons.

Fulfilling emptiness of years with words felt, onto paper,
expressing the intensity of what is continually felt.

Like sour lemons searing an open heart, life begins anew
with each and every poem's beginning.
