Final 365 Days, 365 poems Sneak Peek

So on December 28, 2012 at 11:58 p.m. I finished my year long project of writing at least one poem everyday of the year of 2012. It was such a rewarding experience. I am so thankful to everyone who has supported me. I am thankful  for the experiences and the lessons learned throughout the year and I still have more to learn. This project has been amazing and I am excited to begin the process of editing it and publishing it. December 2013 be on the lookout for the release!

As a final sneak peek of the project, I wanted to share with you the 1st poem of the project and the last poem. Enjoy and if you want to see any more of the sneak peeks, take a look through my blog for more!!

He said I had a beautiful spirit
And then began to speak volumes of gracious words about me
I stood by in awe
Never knew our interactions made such an impact
Never knew that year afters seeing one another we could fall back into our communication as if time stood still
He said that we vibed on such a high level
And in that moment I stood speechless
He said I had a beautiful spirit
And as I reflect
I realize I have not fully seen what he sees in me
Have I gotten so far from myself
That the person he sees I can't find
Why can't I see her, feel her, know her
He said I had a beautiful spirit
And soon I hope once again to connect with her

10 minutes til
Til
A new chapter
Another 365
And I
Wanted to reflect
On so much
All the experiences
The risks
The highs
The lows
I had thought
Of clever descriptions
And word metaphors
But at
9 minutes til
None of those things came to mind
Overwhelmed I am
By it all
And the only description I can put
Is
"In spite of"
For this all began 
With His vision
His grace
His mercy
His "in spite of"
My insecurities
My flesh
My doubts
His "in spite of"
The times I turned my back on Him
7 minutes til
He is still there
Providing
Protecting
Loving
And as tears stream down my face
Onto this page
I know that 
"In spite of"
A new year
He will continue
To show me the way
"In spite of"
The challenges I will face
He will guide
I began this journey
To find her
And even at
4 minutes til
I am not sure
If I fully know her
But she's there
In Him
And as I get closer to Him
I will find her
In spite of  it all
2 minutes til....
