In this work, the author touches upon themes such as love and loss, but also has elements of nature and the passage of time. In "Time Says," the author draws a parallel between the passage of time and the end of a relationship. Time says Goodbye Standing there Fake stones Avoiding the sun My face Shocked by The coldness Of the air Stood silent And fell To pieces Likewise in "Through the River," natural elements are used to embrace the somber tone of her mood. You That I left Behind Suddenly Drift along A boat that sails Through The river Of my mind "Poetry For and From the Soul" is and intriquing collection of poetry that may appeal to a wide variety of readers.
I began writing poetry at the age of 12. I did not know it would aid me in discovering a new intimacy with my own spirit, teaching me about love and revealing to me who I am on the path of knowing thyself.
Meditation further aided me in this process which took me to the depths of my own shadow and back again into my light with a newfound sense of peace and a wisdom I would have not had otherwise.
I believe that all that has been my life, all the heartache, the love I have known has been the path I was meant to go down to learn about myself. You cannot truly know another unless you know yourself.
