Necessary Promises Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Retiring from life, wanting to hide away in corners of
darkness, living in silence and a quietness of nature
forever.

Not expecting to find my way into or out of this interior
lonely emptiness, strolling along, exercising intellect,
searching for answers that escape and disappear quite often.

Stretching and reaching into the future, hoping to find the
necessary promises keeping me going through hardship and
suffering.
