RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Mind sated by rhythms being listened to, surrendering self
to their melodies, finding solace through chords and measures bringing beauty into imagination.

Fulfilling thoughts, ideas and concepts, all of them in-
...

Appreciating life and everything it has to offer, always
ready for any challenge it throws at me, ready to try or
experiment with anything at least one time.
...

Being unrecognizable to self at times when other people stress
me out, trying to involve me in their particular dramas, not
wanting to be a part of their misery.
...

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.
...
