Unextinguished Intellect Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reminders of what life was like when single still float
around in my mind to this day, bringing genuine comfort
and solace.

Individual thoughts serving me well, when I feel life
can't be lived any longer.

Just thinking about all the alone time where peace filled
my soul and i learned to be so independent, not needing
anyone's help through the years.

Until lately, because of all the surgeries that I've had,
but it is only temporary, I am almost back to my old self
again, time does wonders for sure.

Enlightened by the suffering and turmoil, having been to
heaven and back, I now have an expansive intellect that
can never be extinguished.
