RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Combining elixirs of yesterday into mixtures of future omens,
hoping to encase moments of goodness on the way.
...

Silencing fate with whispers of prayer and faith,
hoping to alter destiny in time.

Forging ancient ties, bringing them forth into
...

Sorrow taking hold inside, squeezing, trying to make me
feel it's intensity as I fight totally to keep it at bay.

Signals sending tears to my heart, omens of teardrops
...

Charging into brigades of nighttime shadows full force,
breaking into song from melodies of the past.

Yearning for tomorrow to repeat itself in time, praying
...

Children singing, voices timid, some shying away from
microphones at times.

Energetic melodies rising, crescendoing very loudly
...

Thinking quietly in my soul, touching spheres of God,
hoping to be healed intimately within His holiness.

Waiting silently, watching for a miracle to appear
...

Quiet manner, gentle voice, nothing upsets him,
it can always be done in time.

A serene soul, going through life, doing what
...

Peering out the window, looking at patterns of nature
imitated by man.

Natural curves glide across my eyesight and into my
...

Satisfying rhythms of life with music,
letting it touch troubled souls,
bringing soothing balm to alight within.
...

Sorrow pouring like lava through my heart,
burning and searing as it covers emotions
with it's raw essence.
