RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Driving along highways of this earthly life, rolling
down the windows, listening to the wind as it whistles
into the night.
...

Mind picking up the tempos straight from melodies being
played and sung from the heart of our friend, knowing
exactly how to place his feelings and emotions.
...

Music now tantalizing a mind of openness and beauty,
rhetoric standing its ground as music keeps playing,
taking singers voices right into sounds of colors.
...

Rhythms tapping steadily in the background as a singer tells
her story in words of a person who wrote the lyrics once upon
a time.
...

A worn down voice of a woman who seems to have lived
a difficult life, but now is free of a suffocating
voice that never wanted to let her go.
...

People talking with one another, laughing, smiling, being
there for one another in the midst of a life that needs
to be lived to the fullest.
...

Coming together after a lifetime of experiences, a life
that was falling apart, now towards the ending of time,
being fulfilled.
...

This life at times becomes stagnant, love has left
itself in an empty room, tears falling and being
left in memories of the past.
...

Leaving experiences of yesterday, yet they continue to un-
fold and hasten the wonder of another world.

Adjusting and rearranging words, sometimes changing sounds
...

Moments of love feeling right in twilight of our lives,
dancing slowly in the beauty of our love through the
years.
...
