Enjoying Both Worlds Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Enjoying Both Worlds



12: 04 p.m.
Thinking affectionately of a dear friend as he is now
sitting with his younger sister and family, celebrating
the festival of light with them.

Seeing all the smiles, feeling their closeness even here
on the other side of the world as they bless one another
with sandal paste.

Elating spirits, gifting a mind with this little poem
from pictures sent, especially for a little one in his
moments of joy, that I too feel within my heart.

Coinciding with a celebration going on in his country,
while sitting here in the U.S.A., listening to music at
a motorcycle and bar-b-que get together, enjoying both
worlds. 12: 06 p.m.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This is a delightful poem. The good humor and good wishes you are sending abroad to your friends fan out to include your readers. It's done with the utmost delicacy and directness. It gives one a renewed faith in language when it can embrace distant friends with a heart-felt sharing that collapses distances. This is truly one of the blessings of poetry. It's great you have friends who can appreciate your poetry. (I especially like the way the last stanza brings the poem full circle with the title being also the last words,)
