When I first signed up at my sister's bequest, I didn't quite know what to make of this site. It was because of her that I finally opened up and started to share the words that would pour out of my heart and soul, till then I'd write for me and burn it. It was a way to deal with a life full of worries and fears without causing harm to anyone.
I am gypsy at heart wandering from place to place in search of something I was never quite sure existed. Well, I'm not the arrogant young woman I used to be. So sure I knew all the answers and bitter about the questions.
With time comes wisdom and the knowledge that I know very little and there is so much more to learn. I write because it fills a need to express my thoughts and ease the press of emotion on my psyche. If I can touch one person with the words that flow from my mind to my pen, then I feel blessed in that touch upon humanity.
Please feel free to critique and give me direction when you see the words wandering off course
Blessed Be

Swept away from all I know
A world unknown before my door -
Time washes over all
Seeming to leave us in thrall
