Prior to 2018, I would have been described as a reluctant poet. I hadn't patience, nor the desire to forge through stanzas of poetry. Tremendous personal grief was the catalyst that brought an understanding to this language before so foreign to me.
Quite accidentally, I came upon a poem entitled "Faith," written by Arnold George Dorsey, MBE. His simple yet profound words literally spoke to my soul and changed my life. Shortly thereafter, I was writing my first poem.
Words began visiting me in dreams, and I began to listen to their voice. For me, poetry has become a kind of self therapy, enabling me to express my innermost feelings and deepest emotions. It is so rewarding to be told that my words have helped, touched or inspired someone to listen to their dreams.
