"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.
