RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Watching you walk down a pathway of darkness, creating a
prison for yourself, that I will not let you live in.

Wanting you only to be free and independent, not strapped
...

Exaggerating emotional outbursts as I watch teenage

Seeming so funny now, but imagining I was the same
...

Anywhere, finding time to write, living for
rhythms as they entice my being totally.

in the air, hovering.
...

Looking into and out of windows of this mind, seeing
reflections of what used to be and now finding that
there are new rhythms wanting to be heard.
