RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Walking a pathway to heaven, trying not to veer from it,
wanting to go back where I came from, on earth, knowing
that life is only temporary, difficult at best, a wavering
trail of sorrow, suffering and strife.
...

Lovely sentiments are always falling like beautiful
rose petals into my mind, tantalizing and nurturing
ideas constantly.
...

Out and about, riding the range, sitting back in the
saddle, just moseying along, enjoying peace and quiet
of an Arizona desert.
...

Raising voices prayerfully and happily, lyrics telling
of today's world, filled with evil and terrorism.

Questioning the whys and wherefores of what is going on,
...

Walking along, peacefully, contented, mind wandering
on many different levels, thinking about different
things being worked on in other universes.
...

Cold, lonely nights, sitting by myself after death has
visited with the seriousness of lost love.

Presenting itself in crashing waves of remorse, no way
...

Teaching grandkids many things without disciplining
or yelling at them, just setting an example that never
quits finding a place to be accepted in their little
minds.
...

Swimming in depths of sadness, looking through teary
blurred eyes, hidden behind an underwater cloud of
unhappiness.
...

Living on nothing, not wanting to eat, having no appetite
for anything in this life, least of all food of any kind.

Just wanting to abandon life the way it has abandoned me
...

Reaching out to the world through poetry, hoping to
make friends with people of other countries and cultures,
wanting to learn what others do and what they believe in.
...
