Soulfullly Walking Away Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reaching for the stars, believing in the goodness of life
as I realize it's temporary stance, opening my eyes, clos-
ing my heart, mind taking it all in.

Climbing the stairway to heaven, people all around me, but
no one knows I'm about to leave them for eternity, letting
God open the gates of heaven.

Roaming through the clouds, saying good-byes before leaving
this earth, yet no one knows what's going on, living closer
to the other side.

Waiting for the exact moment when life will end and death
will be my beginning, soulfully walking away into a bluened
light, unafraid and looking forward to it.
