RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Showering life with sacrifices and suffering, giving lessons
to learn by, hoping to teach others how to have respect and
compassion in this life for people.
...

Toasting one another on a good job done occasionally, filling
one with pride, expanding their egos, a little more each time,
yet a simple person, no matter how many times they are praised
and honored still remain the same.
...

Flashing lights reminding one of glitter and glimmering
of stars above, needing to see at night as they shine
clearly upon this earth.
...

Rhythms bouncing down paths of life, giving us a transient
beauty and goodness of this human nature of ours, steady
and always on point, moving us forever forward.
...

Wallowing in self-pity as sorrow takes over, holding us in
a mire, not wishing to leave it's safety, preferring feeling
sorry for ourselves.
...

Rapping thoroughly in the dead of night, rhythms continually
beating.

Lasting and giving us instantaneous pleasure, taking cues from
...

Passing by, watching as this life continues to move on,
experiencing situations fully, not always appreciating
the feelings that accompany them.
...

Dancing, holding one another closely, whispering secretly,
eyes meeting shyly, sparkling with love for each other that
we have treasured within us.
...

Wanting you with me, desires climbing within, hoping to settle
back comfortably, talking privately, touching souls one on one
in the beautiful silence of our genuine and unconditional love.
...

Better days are coming ahead, visions flowing of future land-
scapes that will be overtaking life, feelings that better
times are going to meet up with me soon.
...
