THE SILVER CHORD
(Doug)
Yama has carried your soul away
Physically depriving me of your touch
Your scent
The sound of your voice
Which often bubbled
Like an underground brook
Or raged like a hurricane whipped ocean.
Still we remain bound together
As one, from the beginning of time,
From this lifetime to the next,
By a thin luminous ribbon
Only angels, true believes, and God can see.
Woven at the dawning of space and time by sacred spiders
Spinning thin strands of silver pulled from a star filled universe,
And anointed and made holy by Gods and Goddesses
Whose names are no longer spoken but felt
In the hearts of those who love eternally.
It carries a current of mysterious influence
Which binds two souls, two hearts, throughout eternity:
Well past the gates of a heaven or a hell.
A silver chord, which will lead like soul to like soul as
Each returns to the earth mother to be reborn again;
One only to the other.
This silver string is the beam of sun-split truth that leads
The lost empty soul to its new mate, giving it peace,
Breathing life into each one again
Each able to give and receive joy for another brief eon
Bound permanently by the Silver Chord.

About the Book
Where does someone find inspiration? If you ask a roomful of writers where they get theirs, you will probably get a room full of answers; all of them totally different from the next:
For some, it can come in the form of a loved one; the one you picked up and held in your arms when they were born, or the one you held as they breathed their last breath.
For some, it can be found in a walk on a brisk N.Y. autumn day sharing the sun with crimson colored leaves.
For some, it can even be found in the smell of hot coffee brewing on a morning after…
Or that illness that everyone feels at some time in their life but which the world’s best doctors and surgeons can’t put their hands on it to heal; heartache.
Within the confines of the cover of this book, you will find a writer who has found her inspiration in all of these things and managed to take all of these special moments, place them in poetic form, and allow the reader to feel in their own right all of the things that consist of what we humans call life.
About the Author
Writing poetry comes as naturally to Bonnie as taking a breath of the first air of the day is to the rest of us. She was first published in 1972, writing a collection of works entitled “A Teenager’s Thoughts on Life.” While living in Pensacola Florida, Bonnie also became an active member of the West Florida Literary Federation where she participated in the Back Door Poets monthly poetry readings, produced and directed the Reader’s Showcase and served for a year on the Board of Directors. She has been featured in the “Emerald Coast Review,” “The Poet’s Voice,” “Amelia,” the Back Door Poets chapbook, the Panhandler, and “Home Life.”
In October of 2002, Bonnie published her first solo book of poetry which is titled “Survive the Shadow Stalker: A Poetic Journey through Abuse.” The poems that grace the pages of this book detail not only the personal survival of abuse, but of the tragedy of abuse suffered from the blind hand of illness, rape, war, and loneliness.
Bonnie possesses the unique gift of being able to put down on paper a feeling or thought that every one of us might have had at one time in our lives. She will not only touch your heart with the poetry that flows from her, but she will have you pull it out and touch it as well; to feel it’s warmth; to feel it’s aches. She will touch the deepest part of your soul.
