Individual Destinies Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Striding into depths of eternity, wasting no time,
becoming monuments to ourselves.
Fulfilling duties, constantly waiving rights just
to be accepted into groups that normally don't matter.
Ordinary stances regroup, opening up minds drenched in curiosity.
Wandering depths of knowledge with unkempt thoughts,
knowing when all of our purposes are on final
coastlines awaiting our ships of longevity, we will no
longer need them as we walk forward into our individual
destinies.
