Welcome to The Writer's Terrace - a haven for writers.

The Writer's Terrace (formerly known as The Written Word) is a haven for writers to come and share the expression of their hearts in our little "terraced garden" of women and friends. We don't have deadlines or assignments, just the opportunity to share the things we write.

We would love to have you join us and share your writing. Feel free to speak and write from the heart in whatever form you desire, but please no offensive language. Stories, poetry, free-write, letters, whimsical - anything that takes your fancy.

If you would like to join us please go to The Writer's Terrace Yahoo Group and fill out the application.

I Am by Megan


I Am

I am
 
Lost in a place of darkness...
The mist shrouds me,
Tendrils caress my cheek,
Soft and slightly damp,
Familiar as a lover's touch.
 
I am
 
Hanging on to the guide ropes
Hoping they know the way home
But the dark music calls  me
So insistantly it lures me away
And my hold is only a fragile thing.
 
I am
 
Silent in the stillness,
My voice lost crying in the night
The tune unsung
My throat closed over
With ashes and tears.
 
 And then  I am
 
Held gently in the arms of love
The unshed tears wiped from my eyes
A quiet word whispered
A gentle soul balm
And the strength to carry on.
 
With that strength and love
 
I am
 
I endure.
