RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Relying on an inner strength that keeps this poet energized,
focused, and determined throughout life, having been through
so much hardship, sacrifice, loss, grief and sorrow.
...

Racing through measures of music that take this mind and
intellect to new dimensions so effortlessly, always en-
joying, learning and discovering new things daily.
...

Listening, mind wide awake, translating music, notes,
tempos, certain instruments into poetry instantaneously
without any delay whatsoever.
...

Rising and falling, living and dying, looking for
reasons, but finding nothing at all logical about
any of it.
...

Drifting, going wherever waves of life take us,
at times wondering why or where we're headed,
trying to plan our futures.
...

Living in a world that changes constantly, something always
challenging our minds and lives with emergencies that need
to be taken care of right away.
...

Looking around, seeing people from all over the world right
here in the U.S.A., having immigrated from other countries,
wanting a taste of true, honest freedom.
...

Sitting, listening to corrupt politicians telling lies and
showing their illusions as the truth, they are making it
all up for their own agendas.
...

Whispers from beyond the black curtains of death
being heard, preparing the way for those of us God
wants to see.
...

Morning has risen and awakened those who were meant to be
alive today, having duties, tasks and chores that have to
be done.
...
