SoulSpeak

Originally the title of my poetry book, SoulSpeak was also the name I gave to my Intuitive Counselling work. Eventually I realised that it was simply what I did, whether I taught others to hear their own soul, or listened to my own. Now the name of my mixed media art and writing studio on Gabriola Island, British Columbia in Canada, it speaks to each person in a different way, as does my work. People come by, stay awhile, quietly contemplate my work, often taking a piece home with them, and sometimes sharing with me the emotions it evokes in them. I hope you will do the same.

Listen for the soulspeak
You can hear its cry
Deep within your tender mind
Words that cannot be defined
You can hear the soulspeak
Even if you don't try
Listen for the soulspeak
You can see the signs
Graven images on your heart
Thoughts with another when apart
You can see the soulspeak
Just read between the lines
Listen for the soulspeak
You can feel the vibes
Shadows walk across the grave
Promises kept you never gave
You can feel the soulspeak
Mirrored in your eyes
Listen for the soulspeak
You can sense in time
Distorted moments of deja vu
Places visited you already knew
You can sense the soulspeak
It's been there all the while
Listen for the soulspeak
You can speak its name
Lessons passed on down the line
Wisdom from another time
You can voice the soulspeak
Just open up your heart
