RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Playing in our minds, touching upon memories of childhood
that we once made happily, each one etched in our hearts,
giving pleasure through the years.
...

Watching life unfold every morning when the sun comes up
to greet us here on earth, life being nourished and nur-
tured by most people.
...

Rocking to the Village People on Grandparent's Day here
at the Senior Center, enjoying all the children that have
come to join us.
...

Listening to music, country western, fitting to this
wonderful day, line dancing with the children, every-
one having fun.
...

Sensing sentiments and emotions of the seniors, having a
great time, but memories seeming to creep slowly in.

Minds seeing tears smarting their eyes, remembering past
...

Reaching heights of the Divine, situated in a bluened
light within my mind, seeing spiritual sides to every-
thing in this temporary life.
...

Realizing there's more to life than meets the eye, as I
watch all the children surrounding me, innocent and pure,
wanting to learn and have fun at the same time.
...

Learning at a rapid pace all through life, instantaneously
grasping everything being presented, loving intellect and
it's excellent openness.
...

Treasuring life in all it's glory, seeing it being
appreciated in complete abandonment by children,
loving and enjoying every moment totally and fully.
...

Writing faster and faster to rapid rhythms, taking me into
skies beyond intellect within my mind, separating the sad-
ness, sorrow and loneliness from moments of happiness and
joy throughout life.
...
