RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Taking everything in stride, not being upset by what others do
or say, letting it all flow off like water off a duck's back,
never allowing anyone to break me no matter how they try.
...

Riding waves of curiosity, being elated at the many prospects
it brings into life, tasting the beauty of finding solutions
to problems, loving to think outside the box.
...

Scrabbling into the future, doing everything I want, living
free and wild, never able to be tamed, wanting to experience
all that I possible can.
...

Effects of living have a lasting impression on who we
eventually become as we take our places in lines of
life, always waiting for something or another.
...

Wandering through deserts of this mind, finding it's vast
atmosphere delightfully fulfilling, an interior spiritual
life kept private and sacred throughout this poetical life.
...

Stepping over every single imaginary line, running as fast as
it can, this mind laughing through it all, feeling the humor
in each situation.
...

At times finding life so terribly difficult, fighting to
find a way to surpass or go around whatever stands in the
way.
...

Circular motions curling up within areas of thought,
winding them up, then letting them go, watching their
reactions as ideas and concepts begin to flow easily.
...

Traipsing through gardens of imagination, listening to
flowers and their aromas filling the atmosphere, their
petals reaching out, wanting to be touched.
...

Music filling my entire being, drenching my mind in it's
intense rhythms within an instant of hearing it being
played.
...
