RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Rehearsing guide lines set from birth by paternal
orders of obedience.

Preferring to wander when growing into teen years,
...

Somewhere in outer space, notes are flying to and fro,
bringing together blends of music.

Shouting to the heavens, allowing spaces to be filled
...

Silencing moods of
yesterday's trials begins
with understanding of why
they happened so they may
...

Pushing buttons, beeping sounds are emitted into the
atmosphere, totaling prices of items people buy.

Cars sliding, fork lifts backing up, steady beeping
...

Deeply meditating in
showers of reminiscence.

Finding many reminders
...

Strings slowly pulling melodies out into the open,
dancing in my mind to their quixotic rhythms.

Feeling with emotion, lyrics touching hidden
...

Sedately dancing, looking within at opportunities of
realization in life's tunnels of destiny.
Playing at rhythm's door, being calmly soothed by
it's beauty of feeling.
...

Gladly beating life at it's game of fate,
changing it's melody for one of my own.

Stepping stones, leading towards future
...

Life is a crystal ball, hiding your future in it's misty
haze, never telling what is around the corner.

Just leaving a shadow of you behind, with good intentions
...
