Pressed Between Pages Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Articulating a lifetime in poetry, tying every moment to
the one before it, culminating in life's story and told
poetically through music's rhythm.

Matching it's sounds and tones to inner feelings and emo-
tions, continually being aroused within depths of innate
talent.

Flowing inwardly, never backing up, taking experiences
from the past and bringing them forward, meaning and pur-
pose emanating from their essence.

Melodies tracing themselves through harmonies, touching
heart and soul faithfully, in silent depths of knowing,
reality finds a space.

Within the imagination of intellect soaring into atmos-
pheres of another dimension, always on the move, gather-
ing knowledge and wisdom to press between pages of my
poetry, like a flower I want to keep forever in my poss-
ession.

Yet like the flower in time, all will crumple and be-
come the dust of my being, lying in a grave with me, no
more life or spirit left for I will have gone to heaven
without you, my love.
