RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Standing on the corner, watching wind blowing, scattering
leaves and litter in all directions, trees swaying in the
rhythms of nature.
...

Joyful rhythms beating in my mind, tickling my fancy,
giving thoughts to ponder with a smile, waiting on a
moment of happiness watching me from afar.
...

Slow and easy melodies flowing like curtains in a summer's
breeze, touching my mind lightly with their presence, find-
ing it's languid thoughts are coming into another dimension.
...

Dark and bleak, roads leading nowhere, keeping everything
hidden in shadows, afraid to peek out and be shed, singing
songs of industrious thought in moments of time.
...

Clouds of remorse hang overhead, dripping unceasingly
into my mind, saturating it with the weeping of sorrow's
open flood gates.
...

Spreading across the threshold of eyesight, cloudy skies
shine in spite of the setting sun, serendipity proclaim-
ing a sotto voce above earthly compassionate reality.
...

Today is a challenge to be met, but fear sets in and
takes a seat, wondering how to get through and not
fall prey to the sadness which always comes anyway.
...

Forward moving, hanging onto moments of importance, now
believing in someone called God, knowing there can never
be anyone else in life.
...

Wanting a chance to be a person, a friend, in a give and
take relationship without the past interfering at all,
hoping to have an opportunity to meet problems head on.
...

Your heart, love, your life, all contained within,
feeling your unconditional peace of mind filling
me entirely.
...
