Buffeting winds! Blades of ice. Light of a candle calls you Courage and strength both fail Hope and joy released as birds Shadows of warmth cruelly mock you - Knees give way to an endless descent With final breath, you cry out From the bottomless pit of death. But what is this? Not oblivion, but… Continue reading “A Lesson From Rock Bottom” – Poetry

Lit. and Personal Update: “Chapter Twelve and Fighting For the Goals”
“The Rising” – Poetry
Heaven be praised! I see the light! Grant me wisdom To stand and fight. Grant me wisdom To feel and see That blessed silence Eluding me. Grant me wisdom. Grant me hope. Let me thrive Instead of cope.

“The Story Of Beautiful Light” – Poetry
There once was a beautiful light, Sent down from the greatest of heights. Those below saw it all, And they sniffed and guffawed! But the light was still burning and bright. This gift that was sent from above, In kindness and gentlest love - And they giggled and scorned, At the colors unborn -… Continue reading “The Story Of Beautiful Light” – Poetry
“The End Of Confusion and Fear” – Poetry
The ancient tune’s a’calling me Away to where so few have gone. I run to join that joyful dance With the knowledge that it’s where I belong – But how I long to share the light and love with you, To laugh and cry at all the beauty here, And to race you to the… Continue reading “The End Of Confusion and Fear” – Poetry
Lit. Update: Poetry, Mystery, and Hectic Life
Superlative Deviation: Life With Meaning, Life With Joy
I can hardly believe I’m already half-way through chapter eight of my cozy mystery novel! It’s been a long, painful road, but I think it was worth it. I’m excited to see how I do with the literary agency I’ll be working with. I have a lot of questions for them and must stay on my toes. The industry is full of con-artists and dubious people who are more than happy to scam you later on down the road.
In the meantime, I’ve decided to try my hand at doing a few poetry readings! I’ll be recording them and posting to my Instagram page. I’ve been getting quite a bit of feedback from readers who say they’ve really been touched by my writing, and several have even given me a mention on their blogs and websites. I’m searching for print magazines and publishers who might be interested in some new…

“Woman On Fire” – Poetry
So many shows - I hear the audience applaud Magic mirror, tell me what to do! You can never satisfy it. It only shows you the reflection The image is reversed Why have I stayed so long? I thought I was healing - so self-righteous! I thought I was a savior, But all I did… Continue reading “Woman On Fire” – Poetry
