RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Tiptoeing across life, not wanting to disturb it's
peace and serenity for the time being.

Knowing that it's silence will be broken by sounds
...

Careening down the road of life, testing challenges
of death itself.

Wanting to feel the tension and exhilaration of doing
...

Reflections of light, multiplying as I watch on a
table top, seeing them spread around, collecting
more as they go.
...

Wandering through streets of yesterday's memories,
opening and watching them as I walk in a lonely world.

Seeing your image in so many memories of our lives to-
...

Dying in your incessant love through the night,
feeling it's intensity fill me entirely and
completely.
...

Life pouring from within, filling earth with peace,
giving hope to those who are living upon it.

Everyone trying to live, helping one another, caring
...

Traipsing along sandy shores, thinking and looking
out over the horizon at waves rolling towards shore,
then crashing upon the sand.
...

Roaming through the desert, feeling it's arid heat
soaking through my skin, warming me excessively.

Reaching out with my eyes, noticing prickly needles,
...

Roaming through the desert, feeling it's arid heat
soaking through my skin, warming me excessively.

Reaching out with my eyes, noticing prickly needles,
...

When you were mine we both were so happy and carefree,
living in the hearts of our love as we went about doing
so many activities together.
