About Jewels of Awe

the book

Jewels of Awe is filled with poetry from inspirational to heartbreaking to fallling in love to contemplating life. The poetry in this book spans many years of my life, but mostly my thirties and twenties.

Forward

I began writing poetry at the age of 12. I did

not know it would aid me in discovering a new

intimacy with my own spirit, teaching me about

love and revealing to me who I am on the path

of knowing thyself.

Meditation further aided me in this process

which took me to the depths of my own

shadow and back again into my light with a

newfound sense of peace and a wisdom I

would have not had otherwise.

I believe that all that has been my life, all the

heartache, the love I have known has been the

path I was meant to go down to learn about

myself. You cannot truly know another unless

you know yourself. Though not an easy

journey, I am grateful for the destination I have

now arrived at.

With devoted hands
I take you
Into my arms
And gently
I fall into you
Your solid embrace
Your soothing touch
How you own me

The sky is a smile sweet
Where I belong to you
And you belong to me

Time is an arrow
That claims me
Eyes of a sparrow
That name me
Love of your hands
That quietly tame me

With devoted hands

This union
Of you and I
The kiss on your lips
With it’s many strings
That pull me
Through invisible doors
Straight to you
Laces tangle
My heart with yours

The Light
You are
The seed
Of the flowers
The warmth
Of the sun
The notes
Of a song
You are
The air
Of the sky
The water
Of the ocean
The light
In my life
The love
In my heart
