RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Retiring from life, wanting to hide away in corners of
darkness, living in silence and a quietness of nature
forever.
...

Slipping and sliding into a vast atmosphere, soaring
and flowing above earth, seeing everything as it comes
into view.
...

Younger once, leaving self in a capsule of time, touching
upon the sacredness of the Divine, lasting and energetic,
a blessedness of positive attitudes and moods.
...

Still silent, yet moving on, lifting spirits into an
interior motive as I go through life with my eyes for-
ward.
...

Riding through deserts filled with a lonely emptiness that
takes me into a peaceful restless state of mind.

Standing back, watching as everyone passes me by, leaving
...

Riding roughshod through life, not wanting to speed up
or slow down, sliding into realms of another life that
used to be.
...

Sitting on banks of the Delaware river once upon a time
when much younger, watching the water flow by, ducks
floating downstream nonplussed and contented.
...

Intrigued with very intense and rapid rhythms, lolling
behind tempos, trying not to catch up, sating an intense
appetite that keeps growing.
...

Rising up and down, elated with rhythms being played in a
staccato style, running tempos tackling my mind, chasing
down every note through measures of each melody.
...

Going into edges of destiny, looking to find energy of past
memories, hoping to revive their images along the way, feel-
ing the feelings soaking into my heart.
...
