"There are souls like stars that dwell apart." Quote by _ Spencer Michael Free (1856-1938) My life changed when my sister died on my birthday, I was five years old dazed, adrift, and lost; everything was in disarray, my little girl soul tossed. I was very confused, so shattered, tattered and scattered; my child voice stopped speaking- it just refused, I was in a maze feeling alone and battered. I went to live with grannie and grandpa on their farm, my thinking was troubled, puzzled, clouded; the farm animals worked their charm, life was full and crowded. I saw life through a book, and became a storyteller; lost in make believe in a cozy nook, I dreamt- I could be a writer ... a bestseller. Yet, my life has always been haunted by the past, disorientation has not been far; but, I write poetry quite vast, I write each wound and scar.

I can understand how you felt after the death of your dear sister and how it changed your life. Probably God has a purpose behind everything. Your withdrawal from the noisy world, opened before you a world of letters. Now you are one of the most reputed poets on poetry soup! Continue pouring balm on your scars with your ink. All the Best dear Constance!

Valsa, thank you so much for your nice comment and compliment, appreciate. I will never stop writing even if I am old and withered and cannot hold a pen, I will write in my head.
