Me in the Middle of Standing on My Own ~ A Few Poems I Wrote
(Click on Link Above)
Whenever I attempted to write poetry, it was usually at a more challenging time in my life. When I was sorting through life’s paradoxes and finding my way through the complexities and seeking answers. When I wasn’t able to find the words to express what was going on inside, writing poetry helped to define that struggle.

Writing has been a path to my middle ground. It’s there at the center of my thoughts that I’m able to find that thread of continuity of my own self. It surprises me when, after procrastinating on getting started, I find a joy and freedom that begins to awaken and I wonder why I waited to begin. It’s an awakening that points to the whole ‘me’.
