Playing With Visions Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Gathering together, listening to music playing
beautiful rhythms, favorite tempos and melodies,
tantalizing moments of thoughts into writing.

So calmly adjusting attitudes and moods of delight,
coasting and sliding down mountains of ideas,
listening to everything and taking in all that is
being seen.

Forever living in this passionate essence of being,
carefully protecting it, encasing self in an interior
desert.

Traversing it within this vast interior universe,
nothing ever taking any of it, all being attached and
held within this soul.

Lasting insights kept safely tucked in memory's visions
and images, always ready at a moment's notice to jump
into a poem.

Ready, willing and able to withstand the onslaught of
rhythm as it grasps visions and plays with them, placing
them gently into words and verses of purposeful meaning.
