RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Likelihood of life lies beyond us in unkempt dreams, wet and
moistened by our tears of contempt.

Sombre attitudes stretched beyond capacity, forfeiting all
...

Calmly sitting here, writing rapidly to rhythms
being listened to.

No worries, continuing to reign within this spirit
...

Targets swinging in front of my sight, as leaves dangle
seemingly through a window.

Staring at the views of life being lived inside, people
...

Signs appearing in the middle of an afternoon rush
at Wendy's.

People of all colors, creeds, religions, and races
...

Darkness and pain of a lost love pulls apart this heart time
and again, nothing much left within for all the pieces lie
shattered upon the floor of this soul.
...

Calmly allowing music to take me into depths of an inner
nature, watching as life transforms visions into brilliant
adventures.
...

Sitting alone in seconds of time, watching moments pass
by silently, not taking any notice of us at all.

That is how life seems to be also, we all live it daily,
...

Strutting through life, feeling confident, balanced and
self-assured.

Knowing that poetry will one day be a part of American
...

Beauty of another morning, broken only by inner grief,
not wanting to talk, feeling an intense silence filling
my being with it's deepened emptiness.
...

Culminating in a brief period of sunny haze,
no response or sound emanating from within.

A being of silence formed by life's
...
