RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Surrendering to a life that lies heavily in my mind,
not looking for a reprieve, just hoping to have some
love.
...

Rocking along inner highways, stepping into rhythms of
prior times.

Stepping easily into musical interludes, twirling around,
...

Carefree and born in a sphere of talent, using it every day
in most everything I do.

Never tiring of it and the exuberant energy that it brings
...

Steady and taciturn, going forward into cisterns of this
life, finding swirls of derision focusing their eyes on
blind spots.
...

Silence holding me in it's quiet and contemplative
sphere, taking me into places of serenity while
creating literature incessantly.
...

Stars shining and glittering into my soul, showing pathways
into other aspects and concepts of life wherever I happen
to be.
...

Knocking down barriers in the way on trails, taking them
away so I may complete this solo journey towards destiny.

Holding hands with fate along the way, forging this pen
...

A whole building just to entertain people and make money,
knowing there is a whole 'nother world out there, choosing
to forget the poverty and turmoil always knocking at my
door.
...

Tracing tracks of tears past images of childhood, feeling
their emotions stepping out over barriers of yesterday.

Taking me farther into feelings that have always intrigued
...

Seated on an edge of the ocean, letting it ebb and neap
within, taking all cares and worries, burying them beneath
the tides.
...
