RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Recognizing patterns and designs as they are pulled
into my mind by intellect, showing me ways in which
to improve and develop them for future use.
...

What else can we do in life, but live it to the
fullest, not letting strife and suffering get
us down, even the worst scenarios are experienced
and gotten through eventually.
...

Sitting here pondering life and it's simple
complexities that we live through.

Emotions and feelings are not simple, they
...

Secure in the familiarity of our surroundings we
feel at home, peaceful, contented, looking within
for answers to questions that keep popping up.
...

Hiding behind curtains of pain, studying effects
it has on our beings.

Nothing to be done to sooth it entirely so we do
...

Listening to an interior contemplation as I write
through it's bluened atmosphere.

Finding explicit themes to write about, watching
...

Standing in hallways of yesterday, looking
at all images and pictures of the past, now
yellowed with age.
...

Benefits of aging are like treasures that we hold
close to our hearts, because there are too few of
them as we grow older.
...

Rising fresh and alert on this Arizona stormy morning,
looking forward to my trip to the Casino today.

Sitting here on the bus, waiting to head out, storm
...

Lively and alert, this mind of mine is ready to
continue writing throughout this entire day, in
between some gambling that is.
