Spirit-Minded Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Freedom riding the waves of expressive thought,
balancing the reasons of good and evil.
An act of favoritism costing one self-esteem
and the other pride.
Fixating the proper attitudes of livelihood
and aiming them in the right direction.
Solemn, effacing the reality of time in
another space of mortality.
Cancelling the proportionate abilities of
mankind and replacing them with inept
components.
Finding the irreplaceable questions lying
abandoned on life's shores while echoes of
distance fill the atmosphere.
Forward, catching sights hidden normally
from view.
There's not enough time for our reckoning to
be finished.
We must all leave behind everything important
and walk on spirit-minded.
Counting the blessings we seek beyond our
limited horizons here and now.
