RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Recognizing life for what it is, a temporary refuge here on
earth where lessons are to be learned and taught by every-
one, children and adults alike.
...

Realizing very few people are a bargain in life, having
their idiosyncrasies and failings touching us in positive
and/or negative attitudes.
...

We've all seen better days in our lives, but the sun
rises every morning, touching the earth around us with
it's brilliant light guiding us throughout the day.
...

Falling down, unrecognizable here on earth, torn and
battered by life itself and death's unending knocking
at doors of those we love dearly.
...

Slowly, steadily, pacing self down roads of a direction-
less existence, empty heart, empty house, death having
taken everything that mattered in our lives.
...

Quietly, silently contemplating through rhythms as they
continually soothe my mind with their tender and delicate
notes.
...

Watching reflections mirroring their way into and out of
this poetical mind, searching, taking intellect totally
and vividly into depths of another dimension.
...

Everywhere you look, people are interfering with nature and
devastating it's beauty throughout our entire world, corrupt
people out to destroy our environment in return for money.
...

Rushing through my mind, taking everything into depths of
intellect and innate knowledge, giving new ideas and con-
cepts time to grow and be nurtured.
...

Rhythms bouncing back and forth, playing ping pong with
thoughts crowding within this mind, penetrating, color-
fully performing beautiful melodies.
...
