Special request....

As you all know I'm an author, but what many of you might not know is that I also write poetry. Like my mother before me, I am also a poet and it is one of my most beloved pastimes (besides riding horses, of course!) I plan to publish a book in the future of my mother's poetry and will include some of mine, as well. I'll keep you posted on that :)

When I was younger, I wrote with all the teenage angst I could muster, then as I grew older I usually wrote when I was upset. It was a great outlet, and that poetry helped a lot when faced with emotional delimas. Now that I am older, I mostly write about spiritual experiences because I have learned that the spirits that protect me are listening.

I was recently asked by a fan if I would consider sharing one or two of my poems on my blog. I enthusiastically agreed. I usually share my poetry on Facebook, but this one is new and I have not posted it yet. My Facebook page is where I share a lot of my work with the fans of the book, Scattered Leaves: The Legend of Ghostkiller, but my FB page is private, so you have to be a friend to see my posts. For those who are not, come on over and send me a request! In the meantime, this is for you, and its also for anyone who loves poetry. I give you "Spirits". Enjoy!

  

Spirits are moving me

Quietly soothing me

Keeping me focused and pure

Helping and guiding me

Standing beside of me

Of this I'm certain and sure

The way that I walk

And the way that I talk

Is carefully spoken and soft

When I speak of their names

And the truth they contain

I feel love from the angels aloft

They know me

They mold me

Sometimes gently scold me

When my heart feels like losing its faith

But they're patient and kind

Always taking their time

And are always my saving grace
