When my soul speaks it is in quiet moments
when I have time to think about most anything.
My soul speaks and I remember things I have forgotten,
I remember things that I have never been told, and
I remember things that I could not possibly
have experienced in this lifetime,
but somehow I know.

My soul speaks and I write down on command
what it tells me to consider and to remember.
In quiet moments my soul transforms me
from mother, wife, or business executive into a poet -
one who feels through words that which
I cannot exactly explain.

As my soul speaks it reveals me to the core sometimes,
and often it takes me back to places and to loves
I have forgotten to remember but are as much
a part of me as my very soul.

This is no illness and there is no cure.
So when my soul speaks I listen and
when you read or hear my words -
you become a part of my ongoing journey
of self-discovery.
