RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Memory of life is quietly awaiting it's time in
the chapel of my soul, Preparing, nurturing,
growing to maturity, silently within.
...

Depression of sadness bears down upon me as if in extended
labor.

Treading over hills and valleys of my mind, looking for a
...

Wondering about life and it's clouded horizons, questions arising at every thought and avenue of imagination.
Seeing with a vision unheard of normally, always seeking solutions. Chemically-induced words created in a moment
to be used a lifetime, expanding Webster's repertoire
and enlarging his vocabulary.
...

Sneering looks, eyebrows raised, looking down their noses at
how other people are dressed.

No regard whatsoever whether a person is rich or poor, depressed
...

Sitting here with an orchid pinned to my white blouse.

Interesting individual memories are focused onto yesterday's screens.
Allowing fortresses of old to steal into our hearts, chilling us to the very core of our beings.
Laughter dies, sits upon a spine of nerveless messages, awaiting universal connections.
...

A quiet place which is all my own, is real, it's not just inside of me.
It is someplace I can see and feel and be.
Trees growing with water all around and no sound at all - except my pen writing it all down.

Sliding across the sky, no voice to interpret clamoring words and thoughts into poetry.
Silently being chosen and gathered into many lines of written words, poems are collected into tomes.
...

Joyfully singing throughout the world, life celebrates it's birth each day.
Joyous songs fill the air - fragrance of all flowers titillate a sense of smell in everyone walking by.
Gentle breezes - soothing even the most troubled minds, finding a quiet place within someone's heart.
Keeping all of nature locked within senses of human nature is too great a task.
