Mystery

The One who held me

through all the nights of terror:

the absence of you…

The One who kept the storm out,

My Friend - My One and True Light!

Amazing work again. You really out do yourself with poetry. I wish I was as talented at poetry as my poems are more like essays.

Invisible poetry

Writing is my happy place. Even when my stories are sad, or when my voice is filled with anger, they always take me to that place of peace and serenity. I’m not a writer. I just let my heart speak its truths and I’m grateful if someone likes it.
