RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Manufacturing ideas from creative processes, continually
moving forward in steady progressions.

Wonder and awe taking hold of curiosity, leading it to

Thankful for this interior space all my own, taking
...

Watching visions appearing on inner photographic screens,
seeing a life that has already been lived, largely immersed
in sorrow and strife.
...

Observing teenagers as they gather together for organized
get-togethers at the center.

Enjoying seeing them interacting and having purposes in

Dreaming of things other than reality right now, letting
desires have the freedom to be expressed totally through

impossible dreams of reality that can be exercised and
expressed in poetry.
...

Suspended in an interior peace, filling my soul with
an ecstatic serenity, keeping me totally in synch with
rhythms of this heart.
