A Natural Quiet Remedy Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Choosing to lighten the heavy load caused by stress
and turmoil, wanting to divest self of all of it.

Translating and writing into music, giving this poet
a feeling of accomplishment while doing so.

Energy building inside brain and mind, calming down
an interior series of thoughts that diminish them.

Happening while music keeps rocking this mind of poet-
ical prowess.

A natural and quiet remedy that escapes notice, as it
rises only within this poet.

Lively, energetic, bouncing right up against measures
of chords awaiting tones in song, that are being play-
ed tonight here at the Wagon Yard.
