Something on My Mind: Poems Maria Mitchell

"Something On My Mind" contains poems written throughout different stages of my spiritual journey which I call my life. The poems in this book depict various themes which range from life to love experiences. The poems are derived from realities of my life and relationships, but can be applied to everyday situations which everyone can relate to. The poems were composed by creatively organizing my thoughts and ideas into a truthful short story derived from these realities. Although most of the poems reflect on the truth about reality, some are considered abstract reality. The poems depicted as life poems reflect on the beauty of nature and also overcoming the trials and tribulations that life offers by practicing perseverance. The message that I want to convey through the poems which reflect on life is that life is worth living and although there may be some trials and tribulations in your life, it is best to appreciate your own life and the special privilege of living. The poems about love vary from friendships, boyfriend/girlfriend, and spirituality. The essence of the love poems reflects on empowering the reader to promote a healthier relationship, whether with a loved one or with the Creator, thus promoting a deeper connection of love. The message I hope to convey through the love poems is that in order to experience love, you must first love yourself, then love can be extended to others. The love poems were written to heal the soul and motivate the reader to experience personal and spiritual growth.
