"THE MEANING OF LIFE IS TO GIVE LIFE MEANING." - KEN HUDGINS

THE MESSENGER She arrived during the silence of the night With a flap of her wings she landed from flight She was here on a mission bringing a message of light Hope in the darkness and the end of the fight She spoke in gentle whispers her lips did not move Her eyes sparkled blue filled with tears...

About this Blog

This is where I will be writing and posting my poetry - a lot of which was written between the years of 17 - 19 (I am now 50!!) I have only just found the urge to do something with these poems and have started adding slowly to my collection - I hope you like them (I'm still feeling my way here)
