The meaning of words change as cultures change but written is permanent. A good example is the word virgin. Today, it means someone that hasn’t had sex but way back in the time of Mary it meant a woman that lives alone. The word is defined by today’s definition for meaning not the original one.
Poetry written from the spirit and the heart through words and imagery. They are reflections of life from storms to motherhood, spirituality to everyday existence. You may be left with smiles, tears and/or laughter one poem to the next. Enjoy!
