RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Thoughts wavering back and forth, trying to land in
imagination's depths, because reality is too difficult
right now to live through.
...

Biding time, writing, trying not to think how hungry
I am right now, not having eaten since five o'clock
this morning.
Nurses taking their time helping others with their
...

Moving beyond this reality, going inside and shutting
the door on the outer world.
Finding peace so needed right this moment, falling
into a contemplative trance, wiping out the things
...

Beating incessantly to rhythms of Foreigner, loving
the feelings coming across to my soul.
Awesome figures and formulas twirling in mind,
sandwiching all thinking between pages of intellect
...

Staring into vacant eyes, wondering where a person's
soul is.
Hills of sand, unending horizons, raking interiorly,
beings of goodness.
...

Reciprocating elements traveling on undefined highways,
searching for places to mature and grow real in.
Dancing sideways to silent melodies, guides minds that
are traversing inner universes.
...

Traveling down life's inane highway, being bumped and
thrown about, rushing to escape the crowds pouring
out of work for a weekend of rest or not.
Shouting to the heavens where all shouts are heard.
...

Sickening screams from within, writhing and spinning,
feeling no pain.
Numbness quenching every fiber and nerve, filling a
being with no reserve.
...

Rigidly walking down lanes of antiquity, following
echoes of past proclivities.
All sunbeams set ablaze, a path before you, opened,
filled with broadened heat of a hidden eternity.
...
