Love belongs To the strange and many The familiar and few To me and you ~Patricia Sanders

Welcome to my website
I began writing poetry at the age of 12. I did not know it would aid me in discovering a new intimacy with my own spirit, teaching me about love and revealing to me who I am on the path of knowing thyself.
Meditation further aided me in this process which took me to the depths of my own shadow and back again into my light with a newfound sense of peace and a wisdom I would have not had otherwise.
I believe that all that has been my life, all the heartache, the love I have known has been the path I was meant to go down to learn about myself. You cannot truly know another unless you know yourself.
Though not an easy journey, I am grateful for the destination I have now arrived at.
Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look to see who’s there.

Dawning
Dawn
A bridge
I cross over
When morning comes
Just when I think
I know
The realization
That I don’t
Becomes
The knowing
~Patricia Sanders
Refinement
Sailing through
The odyssey of my mind
I capture moments
In time
Like a photograph
Etched in my soul
Absorbed by my heart
The experience of life
The joys and sorrows
Of living
The essence of my being
The me I am now
Colored by
The road I have traveled on
The love I have felt
The people I have known
These are the treasures
I hold
Deep inside of me
Each moment
Refining my soul through time
~Patricia Sanders
