Insinuating beliefs sit idly on tables of becoming,
dominating conversations with exquisite silence.

Shuffling forward into tight areas of confinement,
pushing, moving back boundaries too closely connected.

Beauty satisfied with visions of extraordinary
intellect arousing suspicions of details hiding
beneath the surface of truth and reality.

Understanding peaceful sorrow as it quietly transfers
thoughts to graveyards of mortality, evening sidelines
of life as proving grounds for tomorrow.

RoseAnn V. Shawiak
