Analysis of Seasons Of Grief

Whispers Of My Soul 1994 (Nottingham)



Days are gone,
Night is day.
Pain buried inside,
Painting on my masquerade.

Universe can hear my souls cries,
Shooting stars - of another year gone by.
My lord hears my prayers,
Patience, worries and fears.

The earth rotates.
The volcano inside me quakes.
Hope blossoming in the spring,
Grasping reality as the wind sings.

Whispers Of My Soul

I am a 28 year old mother who has suffered addiction, domestic violence and loss of a child through a miscarriage and my daughter with social care involvement. Poetry is my outlet to be able to realise my emotions. I’ve always loved poetry . It can be so healing. Sometimes you don’t need to talk to someone and you just need to read a poem that says it all in a few words more…
