RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Silent now, not wishing to talk or be around people,
only keeping to myself, not wanting to be treated
like I don't matter in this world.
...

Lately not feeling good, still trying to keep up spirits
by writing and listening to music.

Diving into sounds and rhythms just to get away from this
...

Jets taking off and landing, taking people all over the
world, yet here I am in a parking lot, broken down, sit-
ting in the burning sun of an Arizona desert afternoon.
...

Listening to the lonely train whistle behind the airport,
landing in the midst of my own loneliness right now.

Entering an inner domain that holds the emptiness of my
...

Clock ticking through the confusion of life and love,
finding that time has stopped, giving no progress to
move ahead.
...

Walking on a tightrope of feelings and emotions, looking
ahead, never down, afraid of falling.

Testing the strength of my future with every step, aware
...

Through the nights of my life being awake, watching
the preciousness of our lives in an abiding and true
love.
...

Subconscious thoughts don't always make themselves known,
we must delve into them with a formidable curiosity to
attain it's wisdom.
...

Listening to the quiet stillness of our love throughout
this night, feeling closer to you than ever before.

Touching one another with the passion we hold within
...

Sandwiched between pages of meditation and contemplation,
this mind finds avenues of peace, as life unfolds into
them, reaching heights of subconsciousness.
