RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Rushing through my mind, taking everything into depths of
intellect and innate knowledge, giving new ideas and con-
cepts time to grow and be nurtured.
...

Rhythms bouncing back and forth, playing ping pong with
thoughts crowding within this mind, penetrating, color-
fully performing beautiful melodies.
...

Lights being turned on interiorly, searching depths of
darkness behind shadows of yesterday, solely taking off
into realms of different atmospheres.
...

Faces all over the world looking across the miles, hoping
for recognition in the scheme of things earthly, hunger
standing out in their peopled expressions.
...

Following pathways through life, seeing through it's lies
and illusions, finding the truth lying beneath them all.

Researching, locating those who know the truth personally,
...

Walking the distance, finding my own way in spite of others
around me, knowing the difference between right and wrong,
making correct choices, applying them in my life.
...

White fluffy clouds floating in skies above, drifting over
landscapes of this desert environment, trees waving to them,
leaves now fluttering in the gentle arid breeze.
...

Believing in faith and hope, knowing that at difficult times
during life, they were all that saved this mere poet, owing
all to God for giving me a life filled with a loving family.
...

Meeting others on the road of life, selflessly wanting to
share our goodness, innocence and purity with them, for
they are just like us in many ways.
...

Beautiful flowers, called 'birds of paradise', swaying and
bobbing about to nature's rhythms, bright orange, gathered
together in loosely fitting foliage.
...
