RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Remembering lives so closely entwined with mine,
feeling their parting.

Silently crying within to melodies of sadness,
...

Standing in a long line at Walmart, waiting to get out
one of our layaways.

Talking to people in front and back of us, laughing,
...

City Hall, a place of enjoyment?

It seems so, it's Christmas and our Mayor has thrown city
employees a Christmas reception with cookies, punch, cider
...

Lasting impressions fall by the wayside as imagination
conjures up new ideas and ways of formation.

Lolling about halls of wisdom and knowledge, images
...

Introverted all of life, yet an extrovert when it comes
to voicing what I think and feel through poetry.
...

Energy being fulfilled and created in soul's
of many.
...

Voices, angelic, sounding singing praises as
people are being prayed over.
...

Desires running rampant, trying to locate places to be
set into, wanting bravely to be expressed in imprints
of sandy shores.
...

Forever is a long time - I wouldn't want to do anything
for that long period.

Except maybe to write what lies within, even though,
...

Silent watching from beyond, calling to this spirit,
filling it with joy and quiet waiting.

Expectant hope climbing like ivy towards heaven,
...
