RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Awakening from tunnel vision, suddenly seeing brilliant
blasts of color and emotion, surfing tides within me.
...

Swarming like bees, filling spaces with a multitude of rhythms,
stinging imagination with it's splendid verse.
...

Silencing fears with airs of music lilting in my ears
for an eternity on earth.
...

Searching for enlightenment inside caverns of being is
a curious endeavor as it fulfills many hours of bliss.
...

Combining elixirs of yesterday into mixtures of future omens,
hoping to encase moments of goodness on the way.
...

Silencing fate with whispers of prayer and faith,
hoping to alter destiny in time.

Forging ancient ties, bringing them forth into
...

Sorrow taking hold inside, squeezing, trying to make me
feel it's intensity as I fight totally to keep it at bay.

Signals sending tears to my heart, omens of teardrops
...

Charging into brigades of nighttime shadows full force,
breaking into song from melodies of the past.

Yearning for tomorrow to repeat itself in time, praying
...

Children singing, voices timid, some shying away from
microphones at times.

Energetic melodies rising, crescendoing very loudly
...

Tranquilizing moods of indecision, forging them with
steely integrity, taking strolls along rivers of
creative imagination.
...
