RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Sounding off to musical tones of particular
peculiarities set in stones of realization.
Never letting go, penetrating alternative
replies to every thought.
...

Stimulating brain cells into action,
formulating signals in codes of
undetectable significance.
...

Challenging pyramids of life's questions accumulate
and rise higher than before.
Protecting interior beings from captured insolvency,
never letting it go beyond what it can not do.
...

Solitarily brewing thoughts so they may expand
and spread throughout imagination, taking off
on adventures of sound.
Living in peaceful acrimony every day of life,
...

Seconds pass by in rapid succession,
taking life with them at an alarming speed.
Bringing us closer to edges of tomorrow's horizon.
Waiting patiently for answers from time immemorial,
...

Solidifying plans in curious circumstances.
Hoping to invent envious sounds and pious
tones of words put together to make sense.
...

Watching life parade by, set in people and felt within.
Knowing looks and gestures found in emotional turmoil,
used on topics not wanted to discuss aloud with anyone.
Cramming down all feelings, trying to hide from anyone
...

Memories flowing, rushing into my mind without reserve.
Strengthening the ties that bind me with the past,
giving me back my family for moments at a time.
...

Flowering birds of paradise,
standing out orangely in regal
majesty of natural design.
Being shaken in an evening breeze,
...

Lasting peace fills me, but only for moments in time,
because life is temporary and being human, I can't be
filled for long.
So, whatever time I have, I enjoy it to the fullest
...
