Final Committment Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Striding down deserted walkways, mind in the clouds,
intellect taking over, keeping me going in the right
direction.

Longing for the relief of an unconditional love to
become mine through life, finding it only after spend-
ing most of my life suffering the loss of happiness
and joy for the most part.

Life tattered and in ruins, abuse and neglect having
taking up most of the moments given already, now on
the last horizon.

Looking, rising above it all to join new love in the
exploration of divine intervention, feeling peace and
serenity at last, a final commitment to begin again,
only now to end.
