RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Jumping and careening in measures of a long-acting and
tantalizing rhythm, capturing the energy and exhilara-
tion that's being collected.
...

Under the pale moonlight, listening to sparkles of
an interior joy and happiness that takes these feet
stepping out on the dance floor.
...

An empathic heart and soul able to read another's that's
filled with sorrow and sadness along the road of life all
throughout the years.
...

Solo sounding in this silent night, looking towards
heaven, saying to God, I am, said in tune with the
rhythms that focused on life.
...

Experiencing grave sounds and ideas coming from pictures
of death and dying as life continues forward, leaving
behind this mere poet.
...

Heart crying for you, saying let me be there with you as I
mourn for you day and night, no more fantasies of life to
go around.
...

Standing at your side no more except when I go to the cemetery,
but you cannot hold or kiss me, a terrible loneliness filling
this heart.
...

Resembling joy and happiness as I ride bareback through the desert,
circling mazes of this earthly life, landscapes rotating through-
out the years.
...

Roads of life end in death, there is no more to live through,
hearts lying still and silent within each of us in that very
last breath of life.
...

Living in this female body, thinking what a privilege it's
been through the years, feeling silent, gentle feelings,
and turbulent emotions of anger and excitement at times.
...
