I used to write wistful, insightful poems. I miss writing poetry. Since I developed carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), I stopped. I'm hoping to continue even if it's just simple rhymes every now and then. Hopefully someday I'll fully heal from CTS and follow my passion once again.

Here's a short poem I wrote years ago about solace and poetic words:

LIGHT OF WORDS


I found solace in poetry,
In rhythm and rhyme,
In the passion and the glory of words--
Words softly spoken,
Words uttered in the dark,
Words written hurriedly on college-ruled paper.

I found solace in your words today.
Thank you for your kindness,
For sharing them with me--
A weary traveler...
Searching for the light of words.
