It is always a joy to hear your expression, Sara Joy, though you are speaking sadness. And I hope there is healing in this, as you've said.

MUSIC PLAYS A BIG PART IN THE INSPIRATION OF MY PEOTRY...IF I HEAR SADNESS I FEEL DRAWN TO EXSPRESS IT THROUGH MY THOUGHTS OR HOW I WOULD FEEL IN THAT MOMENT...MANY PEOPLE ASK ME WHERE SOME OF MY POEMS ROOT FROM, AND THE SIMPLE ANSWER WOULD BE "LIFE"...SOMETIMES JUST RELATING TO SOMEONE'S PAIN IS HEALING AND SOMETIMES IT ISN'T "ALWAYS" MY HURT, BUT SOMEONE ELSE'S THAT HAVE CAUSED ME TO CREATE IN THE FASHION THAT I DO...I THANK ALL OF YOU, FOR EACH COMMENT AND EACH MOMENT YOU GET LOST IN MY WORLD...FOR HEALING TO ME, IS JUST TAKING THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND.... YOU ALL ARE WONDERFUL, THANKS YOU! SARA JOY Monday, August 24th 2009 at 1:18PM |
