RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Looking into a desert tree, thinking at first that there
were birds hiding within its leaves and branches, taking
a closer look, realizing there are two squirrels hiding.
...

Delicately thinking in the shade of a ramada alongside
a mountain wall, climbing itself to the top, breathing
in the fresh air above earth.
...

Galloping mind now traveling into canyons and ravines of
yesterday's tomorrow, eliciting thoughts and dreams as
they walk through intellect.
...

Rocking to western country rock, picking up beats throughout
the night, delighting spirits with an innate energy, Vets
here with their wives and sweethearts.
...

Loving you baby in spite of the miles between us,
knowing we can never be one in this life.

Friends, close and abiding in one another's lives,
...

Living this earthly life, sacrificing for our families as
life continues to place hardships and sacrifices in our
way, an American soldier proudly taking a stand.
...

Secrets of centuries opening up for a few people to
discover their logic and reasons why they were hidden
in the first place.
...

Wind gliding silently and invisibly across the surface of
the lake, causing ripples to flow along with the tide, sun
striking them as they roll to shore.
...

Rousting ideas, bringing them into an energetic wake-
fullness that cannot be replicated no matter how often
others try to clone it.
...

Listening to news stories being told by fake news
stations, spreading lies and illusions, nothing at
all to support what they're saying.
...
