Poem
"What is life but a succession of preludes to unwritten words, whose first emotion is surrender." Quote by _Constance Life is . . . touched by death. At an early age when my sister was killed it changed me forever. I went from a happy child to one of deep quietness. My life existed only in my mother's beautiful backyard garden among her plants and flowers. But, before you are sad for me, this is where the bud of a poet was beginning to bloom. My father took me on nature walks in the forests and taught me all he knew, we shared wonderful days hiking and appreciation of nature became my life. When father died suddenly my life was shattered, but after writing a poem for my father's funeral I found my poetic voice and poetry became my life . . . the green forest calls and the birds sing operas . . . earths pounding heartbeat Life is . . . giving each thought, sadness, and experience a reason to pen a poem, like breathing poetry has become my life, without writing I would surely die. It must sound like I feed my ego but it is escape from this world's reality, wars, starvation, pollution and the cruelty and abuse to people and animals, I need to have a place to go, hide sometimes, and that is often into my life of poetry . . . the roaring sea waves crashing endlessly on rocks . . . earths pounding heartbeat "And when the day comes when I can no longer write, I will create poetry in my mind and when I take my last breath I will let my words fall to whisper, life is . . . beautiful " Quote by _Constance
