RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Slowly, steadily, pacing self down roads of a direction-
less existence, empty heart, empty house, death having
taken everything that mattered in our lives.
...

Quietly, silently contemplating through rhythms as they
continually soothe my mind with their tender and delicate
notes.
...

Watching reflections mirroring their way into and out of
this poetical mind, searching, taking intellect totally
and vividly into depths of another dimension.
...

Everywhere you look, people are interfering with nature and
devastating it's beauty throughout our entire world, corrupt
people out to destroy our environment in return for money.
...

Rushing through my mind, taking everything into depths of
intellect and innate knowledge, giving new ideas and con-
cepts time to grow and be nurtured.
...

Rhythms bouncing back and forth, playing ping pong with
thoughts crowding within this mind, penetrating, color-
fully performing beautiful melodies.
...

Lights being turned on interiorly, searching depths of
darkness behind shadows of yesterday, solely taking off
into realms of different atmospheres.
...

Faces all over the world looking across the miles, hoping
for recognition in the scheme of things earthly, hunger
standing out in their peopled expressions.
...

Following pathways through life, seeing through it's lies
and illusions, finding the truth lying beneath them all.

Researching, locating those who know the truth personally,
...

Walking the distance, finding my own way in spite of others
around me, knowing the difference between right and wrong,
making correct choices, applying them in my life.
...
