RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Supporting life from beyond creativity and intellect, being
carried by imagination into a new twilight of chance.

Forgetting the absence of so many things in life, carefully
...

Eclipsing life, standing at the doorway to eternity, hoping to
be here a while longer.

Looking into the twilight before my final sunset comes into
...

There are no pardons in life for an honest person, everyone
tramples and uses them until they're tired and discard them.

Wayside garbage, handling difficult particles of life for
...

Twilight fills me with serenity, a deep abiding quiet, felt
to the very inner fiber of my soul.

Lasting impressions, calmly soothing after the setting sun
...

Leaves like crackling oat bran, lying strewn
across a bright green winter lawn.

Soaking up the less intense rays of the sun
...

An energy inside is missing, has disappeared, caused a failure
to thrive from within.

Patterns of life, other people, no longer have the significance
...

Growth from within is painful as it takes up more space
than I am used to.

Pushing aside all childish inclinations, to make more
...

Clouds filling my mind, floating over thoughts and hiding
them for now.

Life is too sad to be looked at right this minute, another
...

Sunlight shining in my window, not reflecting the state of
mind I'm in.

Interiorly filled with either darkness or fog intermittently.
...

Seeing the sun, clouds, sky, feeling the wind
blowing across the land, taking away the dirt
and dust of yesterday.
...
