RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Down in depths of despair, rummaging around, locating
decisions and feelings of hopelessness to write about.
Next to nothing penetrates the armor set up to protect
itself.
...

Walking through my mind, traipsing down hallways of
yesterday, finding memories I thought had been lost
all these years.
Looking at their essences, taking time to live
...

Delving deeply again into my soul's heart and mind,
locating all the pleasures and desires of a
prayerful life.
Acknowledging deserts of beauty, interiorly
...

Worlds apart, we search for many of the same answers,
even when questions are different.
Ready at a moment's glance to be in tune with nature,
to be led away from reality at a moment's notice, to
...

Plinking keys in my mind with musical thoughts,
I exist in a world of my own - one with magical
times in tune with melodies of life's eternity.
...

Growing up young in mind, thinking of childhood with
six sisters and a brother - the times we had together,
fulfilling us individually through the years even as
we separated and went our own ways.
...

Deep in thought, curiously wondering what I am
thinking about so carefully.
Wonder and interest are combining inside,
relating facts and facets I once read about
...

Separating life from reality in my mind takes no
effort as I slide down avenues of peaceful
negotiation, procuring livelihood from within
depths of imagination.
...

Feet sifting the sand, feeling it's heat and burying
toes with it's particles.
Lowering self into a seashore of sand, watching waves
fold over, rinsing feet clean.
...
