Ancient Enlightenment Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Thrilling to the beauty of romance as it's savory aroma
fills my heart, wondering where it will take me, going
further into fields of another time.

Taking liveliness into desert terrains that have an im-
pact on senses, opening up every facet of my brain, fill-
ing up corners of my mind with effervescent colors.

Falling into my heart, lighting a fire that will not die
out, finding it's touching me intensely, searching through
the debris of yesterday's present.

Going through forests of imagination, ending up in out-
skirts of reality where destiny picks me up, landing out-
side realms of an anticipatory expectation.

There it's picked up through rhythms and carried out to
sea interiorly, motion of the waves, rising and falling
with an intense rhythm.

Continuing to live life on edges of another tomorrow,
leaning on elbows of yesterday's conversations, listening
intently to tempos and notes.

All of them soothing and bringing me into the ancient
enlightenment of yesterday while scattering them all over
throughout intellect today.
