in thoughts…

ah, this night sky
full of twinkling stars,
winking as I walk
beneath this ceiling;
a whisper I can hear,
the wind in my ear
brings a reminder.
a friend far away
would smile so wide,
if my words travel
to her side this night;
from a lot of words,
recognize my own
and remember me.
but I send my heart;
not with the wind,
but with my words.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
