Poetry and the Third Eye - 2017

Wishing Lines (Suzanne Power's Session)

Thanks to participants and facilitators of our 2017 Poetry Therapy Conference, we are pleased to announce another successful event in our PT calendar.


To illustrate the power of the occasion, here is our group poem:


Opening my Third Eye

I looked in the mirror
but held it slant
at first a sea of sky blue
reflecting back
this is my life
my choice
I choose freedom
surviving an act of love
to grow in self and worth.
See the splinter of stars exploding
and a lineage side-mouthed
the dead can't answer questions.
Now I have captured my soul
I dare you to break the spell
a place where only I can go -
you are braver
than you think you are.
