I have found the most perfect place

Where no one will find me, not even a trace

Hidden, secluded in the corner, you see

My own little niche, yes, that’s where I’ll be

Just enough light, from the window, at day

Just enough darkness, to keep others away

Lost in the quiet, I’ll peacefully sit

All alone, by myself, I won’t care a bit

Leave me my imagination, and let me read

A book of full of stories, it’s all I’ll ever need

Beauty lies nestled, inside a book

Open the pages, and let’s have a look

Let her spill out, onto the ground

Watch as the fauna gather around

Do they know, who lies there sleeping?

Among the trees, tis her safe keeping

For she is the one, the only sprite

Who guards the gardens, day and night

So tired and weary, she rests her head

The ground below her, makes her bed

Trees making sure she is shaded from sight

Though we can imagination, in sheer delight

Fascination awaits us, quick! Turn the page

Into the magical realm, of this sweet forest sage

I’m excited to announce that my new book, “Passages and Paths – A Journey of Life through Poetry” is now available in  paperback.  Kindle will follow in the next few days.

I decided to release this book on this date because it is an important one for me.  10 years ago I was stricken with Transverse Myelitis, a rare neuro-immune disorder, that changed my life forever.  I stopped writing, shut out the world, and once I got over my pity party, I knew it was time to fight back.  With the Grace of God, and my family by my side, I am one of the lucky ones.  I still suffer from numbness on my left side and partially on my right, but I am able to once again do what I love most.  Share my words…

Back Cover: In the ‘Journey of Life through Poetry’, Dorinda invites you to join her, as the wonder and awe of the Earth inspires her, bringing her visions to you through her poetry. Experience the setting sun, share in the challenges and victories of life, await the new day, and find yourself lost in the lush forest trees, as you join her on her journey, through Passages and Paths.

You can find “Passages and Paths” at the following links:

CreateSpace and Amazon.com

If you would like a signed copy, please use the Contact Dorinda form and include your name and address.  I will get back to you regarding info on shipping.

If you are so inclined, sharing or reblogging, would be greatly appreciated!  And I thank you so very much for doing so  🙂

Hard to believe this is my 8th book of poetry.  I couldn’t have done it without the inspirations around me and the beautiful people I have met here, and call friends.  Thank you, from the bottom of my heart  ❤

~Dorinda~

Divine ~ #NaPoWriMo

Tattered, careworn, binding now torn

Pages turn yellow as the days quickly pass

Opened, then closed, like a delicate rose

The stories it holds will forever last

Far from commentary, treasured, extraordinary

Men scribed their ways through the times

Speaking of glory, their Savior, his story

Teachings of Heaven, His Father, Divine

Untold Story

Come sit with me while I relax for a few

I often come here when there’s nothing to do

The old wooden bench is a comforting place

I can sit here for hours, the sun on my face

But today it is different, I’m not here alone

Something was left on this ancient, worn throne

And I sit down beside it, and have a good look

Feel the essence that emanates off of this book

Is it waiting for me, or is it only for show?

Can I touch the yellowed pages, I really don’t know

If I open this book, will it lose all its glory?

Still I wonder, perhaps, if it’s my untold story
