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.

Encounter

Three of us sitting there,
silent.
Not knowing what to say
next
stunned by the moment
we find ourselves
in.

Reflections

How do I see so clearly in you
what you can't see in yourself?
Somehow, the mirror I am
is fogged up,
covered over.

Beauty Of A Day

I wake up
to the GIFT this day can be.
Preparing myself for the
unwrapped mysteries that may
come my way.

Once In A Lifetime All Over

Can I ever have exactly that again?
You know, that feeling that fluttered my insides
from the very first time
you caught my eye?

The rich tapestry our lives have woven,
over so many years of joys,
through some of the times of hardship.
We've seen it all together.
