RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Listening to music, feeling it titillate and thrill within
rhythms, giving pleasant and positive moods exponentially.

Doing so in order to deal with life on a more level basis,
...

Thinking and wondering about turns of events in our lives,
things happening, sometimes good, other times not so much.

Yet we take it in stride, although sometimes we get knocked
...

Wandering through dreams of yesterday, recalling memories on
back streets in an Italian neighborhood.

Getting together under grape arbors at Grandma's house, eat-
...

Memories like tinsel in a breeze, flowing beautifully in
this mind, touching times of the past with smiles being
elicited.
...

Accordion playing the strings of my heart with joy and sadness,
my Grandfather having had two of them from Sicily, he'd never
let me touch or play them though.
...

Rocking back and forth through time, watching as life constantly
moves forward into the future, bringing with it many experiences
and circumstances for we humans to deal with.
...

Watching curtains of death waver in front of my sight, wondering
if they're opening up to let me enter the other side, at times
not seeming to mind if they do.
...

Thoughts flowing past midnight like tides of a lunar eclipse
above in a starlit night, causing wonder to be fulfilled ex-
clusively and intensely through depths of imagination.
...

Roaming through desert trails, enjoying it's landscapes, touching
cacti and their needles while passing by, wanting to have feel-
ings come to mind through senses.
...

Sing-song rhythms lulling this mind into a comfortable atmosphere
of joy and happiness where life is spontaneous, beautiful and so
wonderful.
...
