Welcome

Hi! I'm Missy Wilreker, and welcome to this new place for me to write and express. Thank you so much for reading and for your interest in what I write. This is a new endeavor for me, so let's see how it goes!

I was at Women Drummer's International - Born To Drum Camp 2011 and wandered into the "Writing as Ritual" class led by Odilia in the Spirit Lodge. Little did I know that the quick poems I wrote that afternoon, I would end up reading on stage at the open mic to such an ENTHUSIASTIC reception!

So many people encouraged me to continue writing and it FELT SO DARNED GOOD I am inspired to continue this adventure.

Feel free to comment on the poems, or give "prompt" suggestions to write upon as I am always awake and listening for what might inspire a flow of words and feelings.

Spirit Jewels

God has scattered a bag of diamonds over the earth.
Glittering in the specks of morning sunlight
dawned on me.

Spirit Jewels fall from the sky,
through my third eye,
settling into the cells of my soul.

The light hits a part of my being
and shatters into a million pieces.
Twinkling gemstones
each with its own words for "Aha!"

From deep within, a gem arises.
Knowing,
that comes from outside of me
through the within.

I can choose.

Each moment is that Spirit Jewel
strung together in the chain of my life.
I see before me all of me.
Young, old, wise and scared.
Each has something to say, to teach.
The love embraces the pain.
The joy embraces the sad.

The pearls of wisdom all shine forth
informing the me that knows who I am.

Spirit Jewels adorn my skin,
my hair,
my life.
They sparkle with knowing,
all in good time.

Each gem kisses my heart
and cracks open the DNA.
Tiny effervescent bubbles
bursting from inside,
releasing to breathe deeply once again.

And just when I think I know,
it turns
and a new facet shows itself to me.
Facing myself in the mirror
in a new light,
with new sight,
I return with different eyes.
