Intellectual Knowingness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reaching into the mix of many rhythms, blending them with
excitement and verve, tantalizing them into jumbling every-
thing into a new form of intellectual knowingness.

Wanting to be spread and acknowledged throughout the world,
forgiving and symbolic, nothing else being like acceptance
that is contained in the being of true Americans.

Often moving across vast deserts, mountains and forests
into a universe of an interior life.

Glory days are always right in front of us, never being
exhausted, only remembered in every pledge of allegiance,
prayer and freedom that we enjoy here in the U.S.A.
