Spiritual Insight A Gift Of Poetry

With eloquent content, poetry can be like stinging pearls of wisdom providing nourishment for the soul. There is so much that we can learn that not even one lifetime can contain it. By the means of writing my experiences in short poetical form and then sharing my poetry has become truly a remarkable journey. I started writing poetry when I was twenty-four, which became a significant outlet for me to express my spiritual side of my character. Even through my pain and suffering and through the glorious times, it seemed to help enrich others, as well as myself. How it can fill the heart with immense joy and the mind with insight. In this new age of information, poetry has taken on a whole new level of excellence. The responses that I have had with people of all ages has been deeply rewarding for me and how it is capable of truly touching a person's heart as the poem speaks to them or even yet helps them as well.

Writing poetry from the heart then sharing it with others is my goal. A special and close friend of mine said to me "what we create must be shared because there is someone out there that has wished to see or read that special creation". How glorious it is when someone gets excited when we had became brave enough to share our work with them. I have found we have a need for the elevating beauty of art to uplift and influence the soul.

I prefer to focus on the beauty of reality in my poetry and not to be cynical and dwell on the gloomy aspects of life. I have come to realize that darkness is the absence of light; ignorance is the absence of knowledge. We have a need to express the spiritual inner truths we have come to learn and feel deep within. Enriching experience is where my inspiration comes from.

Follow Yourself

Open your heart
Show your art
Watch it become a part
Of its decoration
Of creation.
Watch it flow
Like the wind blows
Through the meadow
Be at peace with it
Watch it grow
Follow forward
To your inspiration
There is a destination.

Poetry is a wonderful exercise for stimulating the brain. A change in previous ways of thinking and becoming open to new experiences is the key. The fruits that can come from revealing our inner expression can help our spirit to soar and reach such great heights that it can branch to other grand opportunities as we expand our thoughts and become progressive with our writing or any other wonderful form of art for that matter.

I wish for you many enriching experiences and grand opportunities on your journey through life!
