In A Vacuum Of Space Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wondering at the timidity and shyness always holding
on to me, never letting me leave their side.

Curbing my appetite for friendship of others,
preferring to always be in solitary thoughts of
details found in nature as I became one with it in
a solo journey down pathways, opening before me,
creating each one in turn.

Believing that it was my duty to continue writing in
a book alone, filling pages with thoughts filtered
and not shared with another soul throughout my entire lifetime.

Now taking what I have written and putting it
out to the unknown universe for it's opinion on just
how well I've done all this time on my solo journey.

Being placed in a vacuum of space, now knowing that
my passion for words of expression and solace have
paid off in comments given by poets and others
throughout the world.
