November 7, 2016, in a phase of deepest sadness and depression, I wrote and published a poem, “Let Your Soul Fly Free To Heaven”.
Until this day I’m very much convinced that this is probably the rhythmically best poem I ever wrote, and even though, its theme is heartbreak and sadness, I’m still proud of it. That’s why I submitted this poem to the Poetry Festival Page and had it read by a professional actor.
Today I was informed that the poetry reading had been published on their Website. I immediately clicked the link and found it, together with some information about myself.
“Let Your Soul Fry Free To Heaven” is performed by actress Becky Shrimpton and she does a fabulous job. Thank you very much, Becky! And thank you to “Wildsound Fest” who published it on their YouTube channel.

Thank you very much Joy. It’s no problem to read the poem as well. I published it here on ‘Writer’s Treasure Chest’ November 7. When you scroll up, the first sentence in this post, the poem’s title “Let Your Soul Fly Free To Heaven” is printed in red – that’s the link to the poem where you can read it.
I’m happy to hear you like it.

How freeing to release the burden of the emotions. Clever to actually have a “reading” that you can listen to. May you always believe in your gifts and be reminded, continuously of how many hearts you touch. ❤
