Colors of the rainbow, that is who I have become today.
Life has become my pallet, collecting colors along the way.
My heart is now a prism, radiating and ever changing.
Seeking to find, the rhyming line, from my words I feel estranged.
My soul moves through shades of red, since my husband passed away,
How I cried so many sleepless nights, I begged and how I prayed,
to join him there in heaven and be together, forever, we would stay.
Green now keeps me grounded, inspires me to write,
fills me with adventure, to seek the spirits of the night.
Yellow brightens my spirit, makes me want to share,
the secrets of tomorrow, the purpose of my stare.
Blue is for my pride, which is growing leaps and bounds,
as I complete my Master's degree and enter fertile ground.
Purple brings me loads of joy, in everything I do,
enjoying my family and friends, my priority in all things great and true.
Orange is my frustration, in work and sometimes play,
not knowing where I stand, not steering my own ship along the way.
So, I return to my green haven and take in a very deep breath,
to find solace in my words, the words that calm me with each and every
step.

"Breaking Up Is Hard To Do"
Clare began writing when she was a young girl. She dallied in poetry and lyrics writing. She could not play an instrument, but she had a head full or melodies. Writing took a back seat when she hit her college years. Years filled with boyfriends that would come and go. Some stole her heart while others became a fleeting memory. (Me, Myself and I) she would always say. She did not need a boyfriend on Valentine’s day and there was no shortage of people reminding her that her clock was ticking but as she walked away from her date she said. (“Thank U, Next”, as he said, (“Blow Me One Last Kiss!”)

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
