Patricia Sanders
poet
I have been writing poetry since I was young. It seemed to be a way to express my thoughts. I wrote words that would flow, sometimes I would be surprised reading some of my poems such as this one called “An Oak’s Breath”
An Oak’s Breath
A wind this way does blow
A song this way does sing
A voice this way does speak
Of simpler things, not weak
A tongue upon my cheek
It is clarity I do seek
Of a tomorrow no longer bleak
Of you I do bequeathe
All that knows how to breathe
And life remains a soothing sound
My soul grows strong
An oak’s breath- a sweet scent
In a mountain I have lived
No more sorrow
I have found the gold
The search for which I did seek
The words have come quickly and as though through me rather than from me and at other times they have come from my heart. Either way they brought me a new intimacy with my own spirit and helped me in knowing thyself.
I have been meditating alone and in groups since I was a teenager and long before the “the Secret” I used intentions and positive affirmations to aid me in my life, I have been doing that since I was a teenager. I have been studying metaphysics since I was a teenager as well. I have been doing reiki since my mid twenties.
I continue to write poetry and have recently published a book with my daughter’s artwork which I think is very good art and my poetry.
I am married and live in Oregon with my husband and three daughters, plus our two dogs and recently acquired chickens.
