RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Realizations in life come in different ways, wrapped in
all types of identities and ideas.

Wanting to know the separate aspects of each of them,

Sun shining interiorly, settling amidst particles
and fibers, lighting new prospects of an individual
complicity.
...

Picturesque and enticing are visions of India and
it's gentle brilliant people.

Settling into a relaxed frame of mind, finding so
...

Wanting to touch your face, hold your hands, being
tempted by your smile, running my fingers through

Rising into the grace of heaven, yet being tied

Sojournly wandering down pathways of sorrow,
holding my heart gently in the palms of my
hands, being careful not to trip over anything.
...

Stormy clouds pouring rain down upon us, only
one cloud doing so in the center of the court
yard.
...

Walking along, thinking and wondering curiously
about certain patterns of life.

They develop and are created into many designs,
...

Leaving pieces of self around, scattered about
fields of remorse and sorrow.

Unable to move from these aspects into happiness,
...
