Book Cover & Preview Text
Awaken Slumber falls away like earthly garments Light casts out the inner shadow demons Winter's chill fades as summer's warmth caresses Stasis fails and metamorphosis begins Manacles open, letting the soul free “Fly, Fly, Fly” the angels cry Wings spread Tears of joy wash away ancient pains In the renewal the essence is awoken Light replaces physical form To my Father's Promised Land I will travel

About the Book
My poetry is in essence about spiritual awakening. Each verse a moment of passion (in all its forms) captured in a weaving of words. They are designed to have many layers of meaning, responsive to the mood and need of the reader. I aspire to be the woman I would hope to be, to achieve that I must carry on my own journey of creative and spiritual awakening. Enjoy my poetry; let them cast their glamour before you, arousing your senses and creativity.
About the Author
I was born in Argyle in Scotland the second of four children. I am dyslexic and struggled at school, leaving education with very poor literacy skills. Being naturally tenacious and passionate I self taught myself, exploring classical literature and the arts. I am a proud parent of four beautiful and talented children. My 40s have brought to me a wealth of understanding and access to portals of exciting artistry. I have always yearned to write or create different realities in which I could immerse myself into. As a child I would draw images and characters to interact with the natural world as I lost myself in imagination in the fields and woods that surrounded me. The Brontes, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wild ,Sylvia Plath, Pablo Neruda Shelly and Byron have been great inspirations to me. I write because I must, often using painting as extension pieces to my peotry to further explore the words textures and colours.
