Prayer - Like Atmosphere Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Devoting most of my time to thinking on other plains
within this mind of rhythms and tones, being enlight-
ened constantly with their movements.

Hoping to feel the continuous vibrations as they are
being played through my being, always enticed into
writing their beauty into poetry.

Always filled with sadness and emotion, opening up
depths of those who read what is written, a prayer-
like atmosphere of contemplation.

Singing, whispering throughout intellect, touching
feelings just below the surface that are so timid
and shy.

When brought out into poetry they become very intense,
creating emotions to be elicited by other people as
my words find expression within their own beings.

Eerie sounding loneliness flapping in the wind of an
interior breeze, fanning emptiness that I'm experiencing
deep within.

A penetrating silence of inequality being felt emotionally
inside this mind, eclipsing thoughts, centering them be-
tween pages caught in time, held carefully lest they be
ripped from my mind.
