RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Processing life through coded rhythms, defining meanings and
definitions of survival in a tumultuous world filled with
evil and corruption.
...

Living in depths of mourning throughout the years,
going about necessary duties and errands, mind
always swimming in sorrow.
...

...

Entertaining thoughts jumping up and down, wanting to be seen
and heard throughout the world, ideas filtering through mean-
ings, definitions, formulas and equations.
...

Living in the hell of abuse caused by dementia, a person who
used to love and care for others has become self-centered and
totally into pleasing himself, nothing else mattering to him.
...

loving and caring, but now is no more.
...

Watching other people live, smiling, happy, positive, loved
and cared for, knowing that is not what is being done because
of dementia's abuse.

Being still, quiet, reserved within, preferring silence to
living life right now, knowing everything going on, not
wanting to join in any of it.
...

Rushing through this mind, enjoying thoughts, ideas, concepts
being filtered through imagination and reality, a delicate
balance through a poetically creative process interiorly.
...

Resisting actions being taken by others to get what they want
from you, preferring to be myself and doing things my way.

Quietly, silently, poetically every moment of life, transparent,
...
