RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Lined spaces lasting through eternity,
exaggerating outlandish claims of memory.

Violin-like, a piano sounds in the distance,
...

Twittering along ivories of mindful grace,
lettering each one in individual styles,
performing them with an intellect of
soothing rhythm.
...

Hanging from my mind, upside down in a tree,
swinging lazily in time with nature's tempo.
Solitarily letting go of life and basking in
the freedom, left like leaves fluttering to
...

Standing aside, clipping items from my mind,
arranging them with style and grace.
...

Distant doubts and fears, sinking beyond the sunset of life,
leaving me exposed to God's holy will and love.
...

Saguaro crosses atop
desert mountains.
...

Watching, contemplating, seeking something hiding
just inside the left corner of my mind.
...

Screeching heartache filling my mind
with it's grating rhythms.
...

Sorrowfully looking past life, hurting,
sadness deepening within.
...

Heredity plays important roles in our lives,
being the basis for our D.N.A. and fulfilling
our genes with supplies of familial traits
and characteristics.
