RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Music blasting it's way throughout Planet Hollywood,
giving the atmosphere an upbeat rhythm.

Walls are covered with mementos of every kind,
...

Looking for your reflection in every window that I pass,
reaching out with my heart to feel your presence as I
walk by.
...

Sun setting before us, blazing gently against our eyes,
multitudes sitting, awaiting their son's and daughter's
graduation.
...

Upgrading and stepping gladly into another space,
crawling into domains of another environment,
taking satisfaction of being into inner depths of
fascination.
...

Time marches on through life, dragging us along with the
hands of it's clock in rhythm with our inner heartbeats.

Soothing us in periods of intense grief, bringing laughter
...

Rustling of leaves touch my soul, causing it to stir
and seek our Lord, in the coming storm.
...

Standing at the borderline of living, watching for
signs to begin or end.
...

Leaves shaking in the wind, crunching their way through
minds, scurrying memories like leaves being kicked by
passing feet.
...

Detrimental disorganization abounding in the hierarchy,
causing stress and ill-spent time in anger.

Sighting problems, pinpointing clear solutions will
...

Selecting the mazes delicately coded
in prose, carefully traveling down them,
finding pathways leading to innermost
depths of being.
