RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Voices, angelic, sounding singing praises as
people are being prayed over.
...

Desires running rampant, trying to locate places to be
set into, wanting bravely to be expressed in imprints
of sandy shores.
...

Forever is a long time - I wouldn't want to do anything
for that long period.

Except maybe to write what lies within, even though,
...

Silent watching from beyond, calling to this spirit,
filling it with joy and quiet waiting.

Expectant hope climbing like ivy towards heaven,
...

Raining upon an earth of sorrow, overflowing with tears
of pain and injustice, swallowing particles of hope,
afraid to hold on in this temporary world.
...

Quaint rainbows of a mind hung with lace,
stately magnificent.

Even though no one else may see through
...

A monumental stadium
built with city taxes,
housing for just hours
at a time, some team
...

Opaque windows staring from a painting,
unable to see through themselves at our
world of beauty.
...

Strongly feeling a lasting sense of
demise hanging upon the hook of my
heart, awaiting it's final day of wear.
...

Easing slowly into spirits of Christmas
and fantasy, watching children - faces
painted - balloons being requested and
blown up.
...
