RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Opening hearts to one another, allowing peace to begin
reigning in the world.

Hoping to begin a new facet to life on earth, watching
...

Designs formulating and creating paintings of intelligent
masterpieces.

Pastels and luminescent colors of the rainbow flowing onto
...

Buildings new and bare, at a construction site on Thunderbird.
Buckets, tools, pipes, debri, lying everywhere, waiting to be
cleaned up.
Workers on roofs, hanging from ladders and scaffolds,
...

Is reality actually a fantasy or an illusion?

Are we developing it as we go through life, thinking
and inventing according to our whims or values?
...

People from all walks of life walking around this mall,
single, married, pushing children in strollers and in
carriages.
...

Dissipating liveliness at times coming into my being,
non-compliance falling deeply inside, not wanting to
follow what other people are doing in their lives.
...

Forging into new environments, fully aware of where life is
taking me.

Wanting to exercise every opportunity that comes along,
...

Holding tightly to inner convictions, letting no one take
them from within.

Sliding down measures of life, seeing how every note is
...

Inner blues touching this mind with their reflections of
sorrow, thoughtfully held in the heart of a photographic
memory.
...

Taking care to always listen to every rhythm that is
accepted into this mind with a clarity and peaceful
demeanor, across the threshold of another tomorrow.
...
