About Me

I am a poet – a dreamer
I am scraped knees from falling down on the cold concrete, uncertain whether I had the strength to stand again,
uncertain of my next move
but somehow always finding that burst of light inside to help me move ever so slowly to the next space on the game board.
I am a gentle hand on the shoulder, but also a squinted eye and firm push with a wink.
I am outstretched arms – always waiting – sometimes never quite receiving – sometimes shivering – a reminder that I can only cloak myself when the winter air bites my skin – my desire to be loved and needed is not the responsibility of others to do so at my whim
I am a woman who made vows to a man she loves
and took on the element of wife,
living in a home in a small town –
surrounded by farms and churches and snoozing memories
of better years gone by.

I am an artist,
a singer,
an actress,
an emotive alien of the human experience –
constantly shapeshifting into different stories that connect us through the heartstrings and brain waves of why we matter to each other.
Perhaps that’s how we will save each other.
Perhaps that’s why I’m here at all –
to connect my heartstring to yours – or to help you see that you aren’t alone
– either.
