RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Listening to a tribute to 9/11 heroes, truly heartfelt
and inspiring for generations to come, men of honor
being heroes to America for stepping in and rescuing
people from the Twin Towers on that fateful day.
...

Life is constantly changing, death takes people we love,
the rest of us are left to grieve, life folding over in
an intense sorrow.
...

Fighting difficulties, pain and suffering each day,
offering it all up for those in desperate need of
some happiness and joy in their lives.
...

Yes, pain does come in all forms, loss, having cancer,
being bullied, not being loved in return, others put-
ting you down or looking down on you.
...

Fascinating and surreal, living life in total oblivion,
never knowing when our last breath will be taken, yet
we continue to go our way, not even thinking about it.
...

Surrounded by negative people and their bad karma,
protecting self from their attitudes daily, but
getting tired of it.
...

Echoes of past conversations flow into the present,
coming right from videos of this photographic memory,
tumbling into my mind.
...

Sitting here at the senior center with my Granddaughter,
she's doing her homework on her lap top for summer school,
a very smart young girl.
...

Touching inner workings of my brain through intellect,
soaring into altitudes of other dimensions, finding
new experiences.
...

Silent, peaceful, settling into an atmosphere of beauty
and enticing love, one with nature and you my dear, hold-
ing my heart in yours gently and tenderly.
...
