Moving Into A New Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wandering through crowds of people in mind, smiling, yet
not touching my heart, being hidden in depths too deep
to be reached anymore by anyone else on earth.

Buried beneath the remorse of life once lived, now gone to
another shore in another dimension.

Suddenly watching as an opening appears, beckoning with a
mysterious aura, one never before seen, yet welcoming me in.

Stepping through the opening, moving forward, seeing the
ambivalence of the life I have left behind.

Now walking through pathways of tomorrow's future, aware of
the moments of happiness and despair that will be coming
upon me.

Knowing though, that an inner strength is being increased
rapidly as I move forward, showing me the way to proceed.

Looking into self, seeing an image, holding me in shadows
of tomorrow's death, not yet ready to let me go, instead,
healing me.

Soft gentle breezes blowing across my face, touching inner
healing as it's being done.

Feeling the touch, I am now walking forward in perfect health
and stature of life's horizons.

Not looking back into the mirrors of yesterday for I have
moved on into a new life.
