RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Standing on the edge of a miracle, watching the sun rise
above, clearing pathways in life that will lead straight
to heaven when my time comes.
...

Religions of the world help people to have faith, hope,
charity, compassion, teaching it all through an uncond-
itional love.
...

Tasting salted tears of sorrow, feeling tranquil within,
as waters rise within an ocean of loneliness drowning me
in their depths.
...

Lying on a corner like a scattered leaf, watching as
people walk by, not even noticing who I am, no one
greeting at all.
...

Valentine's Day is coming up on Sunday, but we're now
celebrating it here at the Senior Center today.

Sweets and coffee being served, music and dancing in
...

Memories of being a little girl pop up at times,
whenever I'm having fun and enjoying myself,
knowing it's my inner child smiling from within.
...

Energetic and rapid rhythms shaking me into an interior
awakening, unsettling feelings and emotions within, but
in a good way.
...

Sliding into a poetical line dance through this poem,
giving steps to every beat of my heart within each
word that I write.
...

Revolving times being shared in the midst of life,
as we all get together to have fun and be merry.

Tinkling and touching the keyboard of joy early in
...

Locating an inner strength, holding my own against an
onslaught of illegals trying to take over the laundro-
mat where I wash my clothes.
...
