Taking This Heart Home Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Modern pictures of rhythms taking mind and intellect
into an interior motion of living, hiding in the dark-
ness, writhing in the pain of being.

Wrestling with difficulties of hardship and sacrifice,
not wanting to escape the sorrow, because of its definitive
meanings and memories all through life.

Exercising the wonder through enlightenment of rhythms as
they travel down country roads taking this heart home through
a photographic memory, always insisting on being in touch with
this lonely heart.
