RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Being shattered within, sailing away into sunsets of
tomorrow with no hopes or promises following.

Forging pathways for self, leading with lights of
...

Sentences abounding in seconds of time, giving thoughts
an exit into the world of poetry.

Taking amounts of life and miniaturizing them to fit in
...

Holding so tightly to precious memories of beautiful
moments had in life, that are now gone forever in
hands of time, their images being posed forever on
photographic screens within.
...

Alone with a pine-scented interior knowledge of death
and sorrow to be coming in the not to distant future,
pulling away and writing.
...

Enjoying the stillness of this morning, walking around
it's circumference, looking quietly at all that is
encircled within.
...

Stretching imagination, spreading it's ideas throughout
intellect, inspiring every fiber of my being with poetical
rhythms.
...

Remembering faces, attempting to put names to them,
wondering where we met - the circumstances.
...

Revving inner motors, charging batteries of imagination,
taking off into the skyless atmosphere, hoping to find
some peaceful attitudes scattered throughout an inner
world, awaiting selection.
...

Nature dreaming visions into versions of longtime
family events.

Searching through storehouses of interior imagination
...

Genuflecting nicely on steps before the altar,
praying for peace, delving into depths of
organized serenity.
