In July of 2015 I became estranged from my parents and sister. What ensued afterwards was a deep and meaningful dive into the depths of my soul. I discovered I could write poetry through my therapy sessions. My poems became my catharsis, my poetry became my voice. The ebb and flow of my every single emotion.
I lost my Mom five years into the estrangement, devastating to any child. Under our circumstances it was earth shattering for me. I knew nothing of her illness, nor her death. My family, including extended who knew hid her illness and death from me. Someone outside that circle sent condolences on her passing; that is how I learned I lost my Mom. A lot of my poetry encompasses these turmoils.
Alas not all is lost. My relationship with my husband, children and nature strengthened over these years: a new found respect one might say. I am a true believer that everything in life happens for a reason; we just might not know if it is a blessing or a lesson. This has been both for me; I truly feel I have come full circle. I have written a lot of beautiful works about love, death and nature- the kind that heals the heart and keeps the soul alive.
I am hopeful my poetry will touch even one individual and set their emotional spirit free. It is a comfort to know we are never alone in this life. We often feel loneliness but we are not as unique in our emotions as one might imagine.
Many BlessingsKelly Douglas
