RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Christmas cheer scattered about, still bringing
happiness and joy to everyone.

Candid energy spread over all, allowing for
...

Silent reason conspires to adapt to an imaginative reality,
fitting it to verses of integrity.

Solo thoughts join with deserts and mountainous canyons,
...

Solitary secrets kept in steel chests,
hidden away in caves of yesterday,
burying images silently in caches of
forgetfulness.
...

A new horizon on the scene, welcoming the new year
with fervent hopes and spirits of remembrance.

Joining hands, melding hearts, celebrating with
...

Still hesitating, wanting to join in and let self go,
something always holding me back, never fully entering
life for some reason unknown to a conscious mind.
...

Taking notice of nothing in particular, listening
quietly to music of Peggy and Neil.

Enjoying the pace and tempo as it steps up along-
...

Somnolently dreaming of awakening, too tired
to really do so.

Loving feelings of drowsiness, cuddling closer
...

Resisting temptations of evening bliss, wanting only to
relax and become what I must for early morning sunrises.

Gently beckoning toward eclipses of yesterday's moods
...

Takers of the world are unable to be unselfish,
never compassionate, always looking for ways to
take advantage of others.
