RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Never quitting, continually being energized through
rhythms, tranquilly and vividly looking into space,
wondering about the world and what it's going through.

more often than not these days he's hidden behind a
dark cloud of dementia.
...

Growing pains elicited in beginnings of love growing interiorly,
shyly, hiding it's feelings silently, one day finding the heart
that matches their own.
