RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Reaching for depths of my soul, grasping feelings and
sensations being kept treasured there for life.
Sololy able to look through and connect them to
pictorial words, forming musical etudes at the same
...

Watching words form in pictures of thought and writing them as they
appear in pure delight - delectable to my mind.
Tasting each meaning and definition as they are placed in sentences,
to be read by all who have an understanding of life's beautiful
...

Signaling messages coming in from beyond, sensing beings and feelings moving forward into realms that I already recognize.
Beautiful images parading before me, giving expressions of life-long ambitions being brought and placed in hands of tomorrow's fateful destiny.
...

Getting lost in the desert of my intellect, roaming freely among it's designs and shapes.
Considering thoughts always emerging from an inner wisdom that can never be contained or blocked by anything or anyone.
A wonderful desert, I revel and glory in it's presence within me,
watching it's every sunrise and sunset as each day progresses.
...

Turning, revolving in life, seeing it pass us by so quickly.
Never being able to hold it or stop time from moving away from us, no matter how we wish for this.
Just once around life's circumference is all we're allowed in our lifetime, so we must make the best of it and use all our God-given talent to reach our purposes here on earth.
...

People walking past my room as I sit here in the hospital.
Each with their own story line and pattern of life, doing what they've thought was theirs to do.
Along the way, meeting others, finding ways of doing things and getting along in their own trials and sorrows through life.
Not always finding answers, yet always searching for some reprieve from their circumstances.
...

Reaching into my mind, locating feelings and sensations of childhood, grasping them in silent wonder at their beautiful
essences so still wonderfully alive and being remembered this
far along in life.
...

Here in my imagination I listen to lyrics being sung in unison with rhythm's perfect tones.
Splashing my mind with precise melodies, placing exacting silence, and quieting my sorrow for times of peaceful serenity in life.
...

Flowers bending and swaying in natural visions as I think of their bright colors and touches of velvet, soothing my consciousness in rhymes.
Dancing lightly, bringing many subjects to mind, wanting to be remembered in times of everlasting poetry.
Taking time to recognize all images coming forth to be seen and beautified by chosen words of comfort and sublime concentration.
...

Embracing music as it fills my mind with it's exquisite tones and rhythms, becoming poems as quickly as each note is played.
Tuning out everything around me, feeling each note touch my mind with it's exciting calm and peace.
