RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Tempos rapidly beating in steady rhythms, being shaken from
the inside out, loving the feelings, vibrations and energy
that continues to flow incessantly.
...

Reading voraciously, many books each day while listening to
music, finding that it opens this mind wide, expanding ideas,
thoughts, and concepts.
...

Bright lights shining above, touching upon the meaning of sun-
shine for some reason, writing along lines of understanding.

Meanings following in a streamlined waterfall, thoughts care-
...

Feelings being touched by music, energizing them mildly at
first, intensity increasing little by little as emotions
uncover their heads.
...

Hesitant looks coming from elderly people at times, not quite
sure why, but smiling at them brings a smile in return, their
eyes then light up to match their smiles.
...

Tired, exhausted, living in a time of aging memories that have
been tied tightly, cherished and hopeful when thought of, mind
reaching for their essence.
...

Staring into the future, still holding onto the past in aging
memories that hold great meaning, feelings being tied to them
even now.
...

Washing ashore, many shells tumbling over themselves and each
other, little tokens of life that often are saved and cherish-
ed by children throughout the years.
...

Looking up at surroundings quickly, seeing people watching as
I'm writing intently, smiling a little, seeming to enjoy
watching what is being done.
...

Straining to hear voices of yesterday at times, for they are
no longer being heard today, their voices remain silent, now
etched only in memories of the present.
...
