The Aritst's Way

I've decided that for now, on these blog pages, I will compose and edit my newest poem. I am a poet, as well as a doula and a massage practitio ner. I am reading a book called the Aritst's Way by Julia Cameron, which helps peope to develop and become unblocked in their art. I do indeed feel that since picking up her book, I am becoming unblocked in the art of poetry. Most of my composing and editing of this particular poem is being done in my journals, however I am including some of it on this blog. Enjoy!


From a heart filled with paradise
The weight of an unkind world is lifted
By a Divine Mystery
Who captures the pain
And bottles its tears

On the heart bound for heaven
Rests a sweet sense of knowing
That from ruins of the soul
Humble beauty is borne;

When perceived by a world,
Impoverished and broke,
Dormant yearnings awaken
To meet with their Callings.

New poem... more

From a heart filled with paradise
The weight of an unkind world is lifted
By a Divine Mystery
Who Captures the Pain
And bottles its tears

On a heart bound for heaven
Rests comfort in knowing
That from ruins of the soul
Humble beauty is born...

Which when seen by a world
Impoverished and broke
Dormant yearnings awaken
To wait for their Call

New Poem... Maybe?

From a heart filled with paradise
The weight of an unkind world is lifted
By a Divine Mystery
Who captures the pain and
Bottles its tears
