Time in a Fossil Gum

By Tryphena Louise Williams (c) 2010

Like liquid amber, did it appear
A golden light, it drew one near

A story held, yet to be told
The gum tree blood, of amber gold

The sap its blood, of time it knew
Liquid amber from, its sap one drew

An amber light, flooded one’s mind
Glistening colour of gold, sealed in time

A truth be told, as it is to be
Time sealed, the gum of the tree

Time compressed, yet to expand
Attention placed, within one’s hand

A fossil held, its time sealed within
Attention given, rebirth did begin

A fossil once was, now life anew
A secret told, but known by few

Attention lost, it is no more
Attention given, it is as was before

Welcome To My World

I am a Soul Traveler, Dreamer, Poet and Recreational Photographer

Sitting, with pen and paper in hand, I have re-discovered my love of writing poetry. I love being able to express my heartfelt feelings about whatever I am experiencing in my life

Many of my poems will share a story or some peril of wisdom that I have rediscovered while walking the talk of my own pathway of truth.

I prefer writing in rhymes because I feel this way of expressing the living word of life may help to create a fluid-like sound within each reader's heart.
A rhyming poem creates a recycling vibration of the sound current of life.

My poetry covers a wide range of subjects, from my heartfelt feelings of joyful happiness, to writing about the many challenges I have faced in my daily life

Over the pastfew years some of my readers have shared with me that they found my poems to be inspirational and have the ability to capture, uplift and delight them.

I call myself a Soul Traveler of the Far Country and have for as long as I can remember, have had a very clear recall of my dream worlds which I call my inner realties.

It was in a dream long ago that I was given a golden quill to express how life flows through me here and in the God Worlds beyond. Many of my poems have been written in the middle of the night after waking from a dream with a very strong desire to express the meaning of the dream in a poem

Sometimes I have found myself reciting a poem in my dreams, upon hearing my own voice I would wake up and without any thought or delay start to write the poem down.

A lot of my poetry is very descriptive of the scenery I have experienced during my travels. other poems have been written purely for fun and family entertainment; these poems express my feelings about family members, situations and their pets.

If you asked me to describe my poetry, I would answer: Spiritually uplifting, very romantic, descriptive, and sometimes humorous.

Photography is another love of mine; I enjoying seeing how life is via the camera lens, I am a very feeling and visual person and I will often use one of my photos as the inspiration behind a poem.

I have found writing poetry to be a very healing and humbling experience.

Poetry has a freedom all of its own. I love how words are able to tie together all we are seeing and experiencing in our daily life.

Some poems are written with my heartfelt tears while other express my ultimate joyful, playful and happy nature.

My ultimate vision would be seeing my poetry, along with my illustrations and photos, published in a book.

With a kindness of heart
Tryphena
