Feelings Of Accomplishment Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Scheduling time to be alone, just to write poetry, read,
compose music, oil paint, all of these artistic activ-
ities are a part of this mere poet's existence.

Playing clarinet, violin, guitar, piano and other instru-
ments at any given time brings an exquisite feeling of
accomplishment filling me with an appreciation for an in-
terior spirituality.

Believing in a God of my own, residing within my soul,
never forsaking nor leaving me alone, unlike the rest of
humanity has done through my life.

So many hours of loneliness and abandonment having filled
my heart and mind with sadness, tears falling into the
reservoirs of my soul.

Holding all of these moments through the years has only
been possible through an interior spirituality given to
me by God.
