RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Faith holding onto me with all it's strength, keeping my head above water, keeping me from failing for moments in time.
Sunshine heating my mind, illuminating every aspect of my mind-set, as I create expressions and emotions to collate along with words.
...

Tapping figuratively on a keyboard of imagination, finding rhythms that match intellectual aspirations in accurate incantations.
Traveling throughout desert plains, writing down every idea as it suddenly appears and flows out upon paper.
Challenging attitudes of revelry, hoping to proclaim admissions of other worlds, carrying self to mirror-like campsites.
...

Tranquilized, contented by nature and it's beauty
surrounding me walking outside through the desert
alone, day or night.
...

Picturesque beauty sitting before me in landscapes of
yesterday - made for one sitting in contemplation.
...

Tenderly touching memories that ache within, of a granddaughter
stolen by her mother and taken away from us all.

Raised by an immoral woman who neglected and abused her daughter
...

Petals of roses drift slowly into fragrant piles of
thought, as breezes constantly blow them about,
clearing the way of imagination's subconscious whims.
Scattering across desert plains, beautiful images
...

Rolling around the station, then heading down tracks
in search of locomotive ideas.
Listening to lonesome whistles of trains pulling out
in every direction, never intending to return.
...

Hummingbird helicopterily flying about,
barely staying a moment to get a drink
for it's journey around nature's
abode.
...
