My New Baby: "Straight from the Soul", now available on Amazon...

 

One of the poems from my book, "Straight from The Soul": The Ever-Changing Self

A Russian doll 

Of many selves 

Inside this woman

A young girl dwells 

 

Playful and joyous

She’s the fun part of me

The one who sings loudest

And feels the most free 

 

But sometimes the woman

Who’s been battered by life 

Takes over my head space

And causes me strife 

 

These different personas 

Appear to be real

But their transient nature

Another truth must reveal 

 

So, who is this “I”

That I think of as me

And which of her faces

Reflects reality? 

 

The self that I sense

When my thoughts become still 

And my mind is unshackled 

From the force of my will 

 

Tells me that I’m not the body

Or even the mind 

But the silent observer

Who exists beyond time
