RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Standing here always looking at the environment,
figuring out what it is that's not being seen at
the time.
...

Bouncing to energetic rhythms, recalling younger days
of continuous dancing for pleasure.

Taking time into every pastime, feeling the significance
...

Eyes looking inward, as nature touches my soul from
without, soothes this being living in a troubled world.

Taking time to look up, noticing branches of trees,
...

Serenely gathering thoughts like a tree growing moss,
around it, taking in all thoughts, images, ideas and
novel inventions made up at this very moment.
...

Today being overwhelmed with feelings of joy and peace,
not being able to fully describe them in poetry.

Doing my best, will keep on writing and maybe someone
...

Nature waving it's frond hands,
whispering through leaves,
touching branches.
...

Riding down thruways, searching for details
or relics of history.

Changing shores, falling mountains, rivers
...

Lights penetrating darkness of
a lone soul.

Pushing it about, waking it up,
...

Sitting in Blimpie's, eating a favorite tuna
fish sub for lunch today.

It serves to satisfy my palate completely as
...

Quality of life lies unsettled on edges of our horizons,
teetering with each new source of terror, yet balanced
and focused even though somewhat fearful at times.
...
