An angel without wings
Where my compass buries me
Laments capture night
In the darkness,
Laid to rest.

About the AuthorSarah began writing poetry in the 3rd grade, her first collection of poetry being called ‘Poems Galore’. There were several times throughout life when she had to stop writing, times when she was silenced by life, was void of feeling, or felt too much to put anything on paper.
She finds solace in the elegiac poetry that she writes today. She began sharing some of her pieces on social media and realized how much feeling her poetry brought about in others, her ultimate goal. Sarah has always wanted to be an author and thanks to Creative Talents Unleashed and their publishing contract it was brought…

Staring into the old mirror & what did she see?
Asking the image she saw, “are you really me?”
The old face looked back, a blank canvas in grey,
And answered, “no my dear, it´s not you, no way”.
She got out her paints & she primed all the seams,
Painting over the ruts & grooves in magnolia cream,
She brushed light dusting on cheeks, of soft pink rose,
Then she high-lighted brow-bones, her chin & her nose.
Now for the eyes, which had disappeared in drab wife,
With stroke of mascara & liner, she gave them new life,
Sad down-turned lips, she lined & filled with wine red,
With her painting complete, she then tossed her head.
“This old mirror, together with life, conspires against me,
And that familiar face in the glass, is not at all who I´ll be,
With my magic brushes & palette, I´ll now face…

Look into her eyes, the windows of her soul.
Hidden story untold…
She uses her pain for strength
To block out the world that is so cold.
The tears you see wash away the fear of darkness.
She cannot find herself to be like them,
Thoughtless and heartless.
She puts on a smile with her head held high.
They sit there with the look of wonder,
How she could survive their thunder.
Because GOD got her covered!

By my publisher, Raja Williams… CEO of Creative Talents Unleashed.
Barefooted she walks,
carrying the weight of the world in her womb
Striped of her impurities,
each and every step she took
She walked the beating path of indiscretion,
her heart is racing with each and every step
Her self-worth gave way to the wind long ago,
She pushes forward to forget
Step after step,
burying the past; with each foot forward
Fighting her own inner demons
on her journey along the way
Until that which is dark,
becomes light
Belief in self,
washes away the broken tears
She is awakened,
and now understands . .
Beneath the roof of her soul
Love Enlightens

The silent friend, though far away,
To hear his voice, in winds that sway.
The winds that talk, with pens and thoughts,
To share in words a friend in luck.
A silent friend in refuge sought,
That summer still, dismay and cuffed;
With words he helped for death she longed,
But winds whispered his comfort song.
Oh silent friend she still can hear,
Those winds that brought his presence near;
She had sunk low; her fears were real
Oh silent friend, he sensed her tears.
