RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Songs of remembrance flow from within creative and
talented people, situations that touch us deeply,
penetrating our interior minds with their sadness.
...

Traveling down a lonesome trail through nature,
losing myself in it's serenity and beauty.

Taking in fragrant pine scents as I walk deeper
...

Being inspired by ordinary things in life,
at least they seem to be on the surface.

Yet, beneath finding all kinds of magnificent
...

Broken mirrors, cracked images of life, shattered
through insincerity, deceit, lies, ungratefulness.

Never able to put shards of interior mirrors back
...

Silently singing to self, no one can reach me
for I am in a zone by myself.

Feeling emotions that filter through the lyrics
...

Pounding rhythms of yesterday are awakening my mind,
teaching intricacies of yet another life.

Accepting the truth and living beyond the lies that
...

Sounding off, letting the world see truths lying
behind lies that are being told everywhere.

Wishing for everyone, no matter where they are,
...

Facing one another on common ground, looking into one
another's eyes, pleading for answers to sooth our
hearts.
...

Hearing choirs of angels singing, feeling their peace
touching my heart, beckoning me into their arms.

Wanting to comfort and ease the pain of this lifetime,
...

Music softly playing, enticing my mind to follow
rhythms of an interior spirituality, keeping me
alive.
