RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Swaying with life, intrigued by it's delicate soul,
as it glides along paths of righteous dignity.
Securing truths for years as it lies to itself,
never living long enough to believe in an anarchy
...

Whispering away life's secrets in breaths of honey-
suckle wine, languishing in fields of sweet aroma,
not caring to remove ourselves.
...

Riding around countrysides filled with a pride of
patriotic beauty and simplicity.
Traipsing over lands and acres of earth, finding
and locating all of life secured within it's hands.
...

Forgetting past eons, listening to echoes of tomorrow,
with eyes on the future.
Standing for recriminations no longer happening, as
slates are wiped clean for new destinies in another
...

Taken aback with little help, feeling joy pop up and
down inside the turmoil of life.
Jackpots upending final turns, pressing change of
habits into pockets of emptiness.
...

Taken for granted, life circles itself in deprecating
containers, serving particles of it's self in measured
quantities.
Thought-provoking ideas enkindle minds with interior
...

Stars standing out upon stages of rehearsals and songs,
emptying hearts and refilling them with joyous memories
for these few moments today.
...

Unraveling mysteries through the years with curiosity
and perseverance.
Aligning facts and figures on pages of books, all of
them relevant, all tantamount to learning about nature
...

Trampling down lanes of unrequited love,
clinging like ivy to heartstrings of a
page in history of life's romance.
...

Rising and falling, breathing in your love, caressing
it with sincerity and holding on with life.

Thinking of future years, wondering how long we'll be
...
