Living life, paying my dues,
Never committing any crimes,
Wanting only to find the pathways
To another time.

Saddened tears dripping slowly into
my heart, wrenching it in many
directions, as all memories are looming
their painful images so large.

Wonder shining through the tears,
splashing upon the poems as I write
them tenderly from my mind and gently
place them on paper.

RoseAnn V. Shawiak
