RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Reminders of good times spent in the past, images
and videos of life when younger, happy and pleasant,
nothing to mar or destroy them.
...

Walking along river banks, feeling calm, listening to
rapids slip bubbling by.

Keeping quiet and silent, no one else around, because
...

Staying aloof and alone, others wondering why, no reason
other than wanting to be alone with music and poetry,
two things that give me time to contemplate and be at
peace within.
...

Beginning and ending all in a moment of life and death,
such a contrast happening so suddenly without any warning.

Thinking about living and dying at times, writing down
...

Climbing interior mountains, being exhilarated
with their steep heights and beauty all around,
whispers of heaven, coming from clouds above.
...

Human nature complicates religion by making up such inane
rules and regulations.

Wondering if Jesus would appreciate or follow any of them
...

Electric surges of thought energize me through poetry,
using intellect purposely.

Utilizing an innate talent which wisdom gives this mind
...

Rejoicing in the freedom of liberty here in the United
States, loving the existence it allows every one to enjoy.

Choices being made, livelihoods giving us a way to live
...

Carrying on throughout life, trying to always do the
right and proper things.

Being human, failing at times, striving to get along
...

Sincerely and genuinely gathering senses together to
be written into a poem, telling the truth in a life
that has not been touched upon.
...
