Song of Me

A poem can orchestrate a chapter of life on a single page. My words sing to the highs and lows of my existence. No matter what life left at my doorstep, there was always a song to help me, understand me, and pluck at my heartstrings-making me feel it was written just for me. I spent my life in search of family, haunted by the demons of my ancestors. My journey led me down many paths in pursuit of a melody understood. Some were rooted in nature's symphonic glory and others so dark I lost my voice and identity. Yet each time a bird in hand, a sign of promise and hope, rescued me and gave me the courage to move on. I hope my poetic memoir touches your soul and inspires you to begin and end each day with a song.
