Stepping Lightly Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Stepping Lightly



Stepping lightly with aging limbs and addled brains,
living experentially through causes and omens of
old age, never letting any of it come closer or become
you for an instant.

Loving rhythm and melodies on horizons of aging fate,
holding hands with knowing glances.

Seeking footholds on sandy mountainsides, grasping a
near-future and having it fall through your fingers
like tiny beads of a broken pearl necklace.

Yet, stepping lightly onto shores of death and it's
feckless journey, walking acceptingly away from a
universe you've always known.

Now, letting it go for a far better transition from
life than ever known before this.

Lightly stepping onto eternity's life-long beaches,
gingerly going into arms of heaven with all it's
promise and glory.
