RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Pushed beyond reason and caring,
alone in a whirlwind of turmoil,
unable to reach or speak out.
...

Attuned to an inner loneliness,
listening to it's pain rehearse
in crystal tears.
...

Unreality of this evening surprises life's meaning and existence.
There are no words or magic solutions to fix a misplaced being
through the years.
Alive, yet downcast throughout empty years on earth.
...

Breathing a sigh of relief, hurting still inside.
Moving on to another plain, searching for a new
birth without pain.
Following closely, little known trails towards
...

Hurting tears apart hearts of fragile gentleness.
Binding life through the passage of it's gates is
irreversibly tender - aching - always.
On the verge of captivity, awaiting the silent
...

Despairingly, so attuned to life and it's misguided tears
in depths of knowing wisdom.
Unfavorably dedicated by senses of unreality and changing
tides of wind.
...

Silently watching puzzles of nature grow before me,
continue to be, even though progress is treading
upon it so carelessly.
...

Walking along edges of time, balancing the energy of life
against deaths'.
Reaching beyond boundaries of ordinary paths, clutching
closely, those of familiarity through pain.
...

Being carried away on a cloud of tender music,
softly floating about my senses.
Tantalizing, pushing, prodding, mysterious-laden,
serenity fills me within.
...

Snarled and tangled in the web of life upon crossroads of maturity.
Living aside the chance of goodness with kindness and love.
Desiring the open-endedness of peaceful sorrow and grief, pulsing
tremendously inside us.
...
