Music embraces me, poetry frees me, love enables me, nature inspires me, loss demands me, anger provokes me, to express all that lies within, peace comes at the work of my right hand. Silence permitts my spirit to be bound, in my poetry is where my freedom is found. (Judi Spence)
I've been writing since I was 5.. its only the last few years that I realized its not only something I do its who I am. I pour out all that is within. So it no longer can hold me captive..if I can put it on paper its in my hands then..I have controll over it instead of it threatening me. I've been through a little of everything. Some of my poetry comes out f the loss of my only sister in a very tragic way at the age of 16 and being with her when she left this world. Other of my writings come out of my life experiences..day to day emotions and thoughts. I am a wife and a mother of four beautiful little girla and i love God with all my heart. I hope you enjoy!
She is easy to know but so complicated
Complex, misunderstood and elevated
Above who she feels like she is
She holds one close which no longer lives
...
The winds of change brought heartache and pain,
At one time I believed that nothing could be gained.
Circumstances took me to the lowest of lows,
Guilt, blame and unforgiveness consumed my soul.
...
Deep breaths, let them go
Take it in, take it slow
You've waited so long
Embrace the moment
...
Hard travels on this long winding road
Where does it end? Does anyone know?
Seasons pass, with sunshine or cold wind blow
Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer come and go
...
