RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Towering above the recording of life, listening for the
quietness amid the loud turmoil of strife and hardship.

Taking all things together, siting out on another
...

Awakening quiet thoughts within, music of Vivaldi saturates my
mind with saddened recollected calm, taking hold of heart and
soul, transporting me to outer regions of my mind, scanning all
that lies between.
...

A dirge of summer's heat beats down upon my brow, causing me
to sweat profusely.

Walking many miles, counting none of them to while away the
...

Dancing on shores of loneliness, inner sadness bounces
along upon waves of reckoning.

Motives drowning beneath the salty water, reprieve is no
...

Desperate to be alone in a space of time, thinking about life
and it's judgment of others as we all walk along, side by side.

Never bothering to touch one another's spirit, just delicately

Soothing silence, reaching depths where all of living

melody's rhythms.

Protecting their hurtened feelings with soft petals of
...

Easily falling into depths of rhythm, sculpting my essence
and creating a masterpiece of beautiful energy.

Existing within self, an aspect of wisdom's innate talent,
...

Quietly taking my mind into the darkness of tomorrow's future,
allowing it to watch and see the events that will be happening
soon.
