RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Succeeding on pathways of future destinies,
shining intensely on graves standing years of time.
Often beguiling wisdom with energies of taciturn
involvement on circles of ages beyond.

Lively adjuncts of others
bring some joy in lives.
At times turning them around,

Gray shadow clouds crossing my mind, taking me to introspection and divine will.
Sating prayerful times of sadness as I covered up emotional loss of words in hiding.
Climbing inside patterns, wallowing in grief's demise, getting accustomed to it's fit for life.

Smothering every hope I've ever had, leaving me hanging on a ledge of no return.
Tears streaming through my heart, taking away memories, flooding me with grief for my parents who have left me.
Wallowing in a somber silence with no reprieve from a lifetime of penetrating love and acceptance.
