RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Walking through the desert, happily enjoying it's beauty,
exercising my mind as I climb mountains situated right
in the middle of it's arid vastness.
...

Sunlight filtering into my mind, warming thoughts,
getting them moving towards the waterfall cascading
into my mind.
...

An intense mood of sadness has come over me, enveloping
it's cloak around my mind without thought of how it will
make me feel.
...

Corralling innermost sadness, trying to sort it out,
picturing the puzzle of it's imminent distraction,
touching this mind.
...

Gathering together, focusing on an aptitude of peaceful
activity, writing and exploring depths of an interior
universe.
...

Covering eyelets of evening, shading corresponding
lights, rotating and pivoting with changing high-
lights of remembering.
...

Many guests filling home with talk and Tibetan
culture.

A beautiful dog, tail wagging, hoping to greet
...

Clouds strewn haphazardly across the sky with no other
purpose than to catch my eye.

Gazing out at the deep light blue sky, misery penetrates
...

Leaves blowing haltingly in the whispering wind,
why are leaves bending the air with their
unknowingness? What do they have to gain?
...

Quickly calculating time periods in measures of music
as they are taken up into avenues of understanding
instantaneously, noting the importance of continuing
to write rapidly in order to do so.
...
