| A little over a year ago I changed the name I write under……I was the artist formerly known as Lady Dre………. and transformed to become the Soulful Poet………at the time I didn’t realize how prophetic that name would become for me in that this passed year has been very much about soul searching and soul restoration…………..i have always maintained that writing poetry for me has been a love affair with my soul and each time someone reads my words they get a brief glimpse into my soul’s heart……this year has still been about CHANGE for me………i know that i am still all that i was before, but have become so much more only now I continue this journey sans locs: I have entered another phase in my relationship with my hair and have shorn my head of my locs, and am back to wearing a short natural…….persisting in my journey to dwell continually in a state of grace and aligning myself on the path the Creator has for my life i’ve changed jobs (I now work with homeless street kids) …….and biggest and best of all…...last year i experienced the devastating depths of what I believed was a deep love…..and lived through it all to again allow love to enter my life and heart with a greater appreciation of love’s beauty, joys and truths………I know that for all the pain and heart break I went thru, the Goddess was saving this one for last……..i continue to adorned my body with more tattoos that visually express and display aspects of my soul……..#9 is on its way……...i am still being truer to mySelf and still look forward to who i am becoming and to the adventure that is life and all it has in store for me I leave u with these thoughts,: •love is a spell so exquisite, everything conspires against it;• life isn’t about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself• lastly, the purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience …..peace Soulful Poet |

| It's Good to be Me, and Me is all I know how to be. I have been a poet for as long as I could formulate words from letters. I enjoy nurturing my creative abilities with positive energy and I work to mainatin a heightened awareness of my spirituality. I am the middle child of three, and I am the only girl - a circumstance which often left me alone in my room trying to find new ways to entertain myself. In my solitude I discovered my own beauty and my own individuality. I believe that because I am the a child of the Creator I am also the embodiment of love. And because I try to maintain strength and courage, compassion and wisdom, patience and determination, there are great things in store for me. My ultimate goal in life is to find an undisturbed peace by holding on to and developing my connection to this universe, which is my connection to the God in me. As stated by James Baldwin, I, too, use my words as the ocean uses waves; to flow and beat, to advance and retreat, to rise and fall as the words illuminate the thought and the thought becomes the poetry. I beleive that as long as I seek my Creator in all my life's endeavors, and as long as I try to give life to all that I create, I will be blessed with a richness of self and a worthwhile existence. And this is the sum of all my parts. |
