soft cadence of words
music notes in my mind
one cold morning, unbidden
falls in my hands, like snowflakes
caressing the copper leaves
veiling lush forest in white dust
quiet time of reflection,
pulse to live fully in the moment,
before the winter past of regret
bury the sun freckled seeds
under dark hollowed trees,
unknowing of its potent spell
cautiously,
i open the poetry box
and let its spirit wring my soul
The itch to write came to me late last year. After years of reading books, I was intrigued to try writing prose and poetry. I am still learning the craft as I have no experience at all in writing, much less in poetry. It take time for me to write (a torture I must admit) but the words have been flowing since I have learned to trust my muse. The past months have been an exciting journey for me as I am trying out new forms and styles of writing. Thanks for the visit.

Gosh, this is exquisite. From the day landing like a snowflake in the palm, and the poetry as a secret box waiting to be opened.
