RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Standing by warrant waysides, betraying inner realms
with tantalizing imagination.
Worthily looking askance, passing open doorways with-

Wandering through mazes of reality, not wanting any
part of their existence.

Taking time out to disappear inside my being, taking
...

Rambling into gardens of heaven where I can feel at
peace inside.
Buttons of life have turned into concepts of idealic
prose to be taken into depths of thoughts never taken
...
