New Pathways Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Overshadowing the effervescent personality bubbling
inside is an unquenchable thirst for quiet, peace
and calm.
Looking through jaded curtains at a life passing by,
noticing it is standing still, yet I continue in
circles, connecting past and present moments with
quickened memories.
Standing on the polka-dotted carpet of some inner
domain, wondering how it got there and why it's not
also staying still.
Measurements of quality associated with inner
tranquility, falls forward spilling onto the pavement, scattering all thought with it.
Listening to several voices carrying on minimal
conversations, turning about, leaving debri to be
sorted out by somebody else.
Standing on the edge of life looking for new pathways
of adventure and excitement.
