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.

Touch

The weight of your fingers
pulled by gravity with each fall.
Landing on keys as if
they were always meant to be there.
Magnetic attraction;
like my heart is
to your music.

You shape sound and silence,
filling mine
with stories and deep feelings.
Your movements take me
on a journey,
transcending all sense of space,
time,
and the confinements of
this moment.

I hear you,
and melt.

Floating on the waves of air,
the lingering vibration
of each tone,
I hang there.
Just long enough
to see from above
and cry.
My heart opens wider
to love
and the unsung stories
of lifetimes.

Echoes dance in my ears
and inform my body
on how to move.
It's desire to move,
to dance,
with all that I feel inside.
Letting it flow in an endless stream,
through my arms,
torso,
legs,
everything.
Rising beyond gravity,
carried by heartstrings
on the wings of pure beauty.

(9/17/11 - VA flight - inspired by "Migration" by Peter Kater & Carlos Nakai)
