Soul Pictures Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Waltzing down lanes of memories, picking and choosing
their blossoming images as they rise to meet me on
the way.

So unlike the present, character and joy used to fill
empty places inside, because of their presence in my
life.

Relatives coinciding with yesterday's visits and get
togethers, keeps alive their vibrancy.

Reaching out, touching my soul, pictures and mementos
fade in and out through years of aligning them with
what I remember and know.

Placed in mind photos they are a reference to my life
and what I once saw and felt in my youth.
