Picture by Alan Ayers

* * * *

Through my grief I started writing
Since then my life has turned around
I feel my life now has more purpose
There are new friends I have found

The words flowed with little effort
As my heart needed to be heard
The real me was soon revealed
Through each and every word

My infinite love of romance
And my fascination of the sea
Have brought so much joy
And inspiration to me

I haven't always been a writer
And I'm so grateful for this gift
I feel I have more confidence
My life's been given such a lift

Through my love of writing
I've found another side of me
As I share my life with others
Through a writer's eyes I see

* * *

Many of you may or may not know that I
have only been writing for two years and
so far I have penned in excess of 640 poems.
Before then I had never written a thing and
I truly believe that it was through the
unbearable grief at losing my father to
asbestos cancer that caused me to pick
up a pen.A flood of emotions inspired
me to put my thoughts into words and I
haven't put my pen down since.

I thank each of you who have taken the
time to read my words and who glimpse
inside my heart.You have constantly
inspired and encouraged me to continue
my newfound passion and I thank you
from the bottom of my heart.

Love Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Ah Sue..I had a feeling it was the loss of your dear father
that started you on your road to writing.
And what a beautiful poetess you are...
Your father is smiling down at you
and we here at Passions are very very proud to have you with us sharing your words.
~Hugs & Smiles, Nancy~

~ Trace my body with your words..
And in doing so, you touch my heart. ~

What a beautiful loving gift to his memory, and to all of us who have been allowed to share life's moments with you. Keep that pen in motion.

I have read and enjoyed many of your writings, but haven't commented before.  This one reminded me of Francis Bacon's thoughts on writing.  He writes it for men as it was in the 17th century..but I think it applies to any mind that is used.  I like your writings.  Ken J
As Francis Bacon observed, "Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man." Think about that also. That is very true. "Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man." And so we write more exactly than we speak.

Sue, I am very glad that I have been able
to read some of your poetry. It is very
beutiful and I can tell that each poem comes
from your heart.

Sue, I'm really sorry about your Dad. I also
have bad lungs, COPD, with some asbestosis.
Mine isn't cancer, though. I know that he
has to know that you are helping others
through your wonderful writing...
