RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Stranded in a lifetime of trials, noticing life passing
on it's way towards death's horizons.

Watching it's sunset sinking slowly, painstakingly, into
...

Situational circumstances abounding in life,
trying our patience, giving us strife.

Taking in horrendous sights, trying to puzzle
...

Quickly scanning mountainous deserts,
seeing pathways, climbing higher with
no one the wiser, to the top.
...

Tattered within, riddled with life, no where to go.

Escape is impossible, because I'm always within, no
way out.
...

Old bikers, standing around, talking about the
glorious past and revving up details to make
it sound more promising.
...

Walking away, knocking around, attempting to
find an alluring sound to pin a poem on.
...

Directly reaching into particles of existence,
touching their essence and feeling their beauty.
Partaking of their freedom of energy and solvency
in everything they begin to do and see.
...

Awakening from a dream of lasting peace, keeping it
safely tucked within me at all times.
Never losing the wonder and curiosity of childhood,
delving into it constantly as I write from memories,
...

Thought-provoking melodies singing their way into our
souls, jangling our nerves, allowing flowing music to
sooth them for us.
Thinking slowly on streets of pageantry, billowing
...

Intelligent minds succumbing to rhythms of
innate superiority through notes and beats
individually set to music's beauty and
charm.
