I'm fascinated by the beauty words can create as they slip from the lips, transferring emotion, fostering connection, and tethering us to the Divine. I truly believe that when we are creating art, be it a painting, song, poem, dance, or story, we are tapping into a direct connection to heaven, allowing us to utilize those inspired gifts to create something beyond ourselves.
Poetry is in my blood, passed down through the generations before me. Though I'd played with poetry off and on since I was a child, it wasn't until faced with a harrowing experience in my later years that something was released inside of me, opening up my soul to a deep vein of inspiration and connection to poetry. It gave voice to feelings unspoken, and provided a means to heal and connect in a way I couldn't find any other way. Since then, I've written hundreds of poems. They come in waves that ebb and flow, and I do my best to catch them, each one becoming part of me. |
