Sounds from the Waters: Synchronized Inhales and Exhales

“Sounds from the Waters”, is a symphony of creative voices that gives birth to sparkling waves of jewels drawing one into a trance like state inspiring deep thought and contemplation. Each poet brings his own authenticity, style, and timbre adding to the favor, depth, and richness of this amazing anthology. Authentic voices resonating in harmony, vibrating and feeding on the energy of each other hold true and dear to the artist affirmation, “surrendering to the creative vision which resides within,” becoming naked, walking in their strength, letting go, trusting the process, allowing spirit vested in them to create, leaving indelible imprints legacy bound forever. Given four words and a ten-minute write that allows no disclaimers in a sacred space of oneness and unity, a divine milieu of creativity leaps out at us. A gathering of poets whose seeds nurtured and harvested by attentive gardeners, whose vision and commitment to community, free of charge, visionary in scope and depth paved the way and allowed this birthing process to take place. Beautiful is this offspring; welcome are these voices channels of beauty, love, pain, suffering, faith and messages from the universe. Encoded in this manuscript is love-vibrating witness to the human yearning, attune to the human need and the human cry. Their pens are their voices allowing them to inhale and exhale on their journey. Sighs of relief, freedom, register in my mind, as I read these pages. author/poet Ms. Vickie Williams
