Inspirations: Poems of Life and Love
Carole Ellison began writing poems to her children in the 1970s, when they were reaching the age of reason and as she found herself in the position of becoming a single parent. She felt she needed something special to share with them — something that would become a tradition, something they could always count on…
And so her Advent Poems began — one day, decades ago — with a poem each day during the Advent season in December. The poems were accompanied by a little trinket or sweet for them to enjoy. Forty years later… her children still look forward to the annual poems that started a family tradition that new generations have embraced. (Or maybe it’s the trinkets they love?)
Children of the Light was among the first poems she wrote and it is included in each of the first three books in this collection. After writing hundreds of poems, it is still her favorite. Light, she explains, represented all that was good and pure and right with the world, and she believed then — as she does today — that those elements live in her children … and perhaps in all of us. We need only to dare… and to reach for it. Inspirations is the first of several gift books by Kathyrn Carole Ellison and other titles include Heartstrings and Celebrations.

Call her in and claim her now~ ________________________________________ POEM EXCERPT: Marrying Light~~ The wild beast of me pranced through your ever-fog. It is a black,beautiful release, to be free of your colorless silence. I take the dark horse of me by the reins now. I am her Black- bride, her Night- rider, and I shall gallop her home to marry light. I choose an innocent mind, concocted from a pure heart. I’ve reached the castle. The walls that stand as relics to my past before me. Indestructible, Undeniable, Weathered stone upon cracked foundations. Yet it is only one long wall of pain vying for my focus so that it may earn its title of “ancient history”. Maps of hidden corners, secret doorways to discover, walls yet to build, rain down upon my crown. I stride by that towering wall with grace and release, It has spoken its piece, and I’ve spoken mine. I want peace. I choose peace. I will not live contained by it any longer. It may never crumble, But neither will I. The inner chamber all Candlelit Christens my heart new again, I am named Illuminata. I’ve burned every candle down, praying to the moonlight, I’m ready to heed the call. Resiliency has won. Angels in my backyard have heralded. Smoke rings stink. I want only the smoke that signals: I live like there is an ever fire burning inside me. My soul desires her life theme back. I’m all in. Send the subtle signs. Send the neon signs. Hang the welcome sign. I was cracked open by the spiral of God-Light years ago, Pretending is no longer optional. Communion is everything. I live the deep life. I wake and work the magic of the day dawned. I stare at the starblazen sky with wonder. If She holds all that in place. There must be a plan for the universe that lives and loves inside me. Ill always hold onto the home of that. Darkness never dims me long, For I am a Star-Rider, Born of, born again of, and married to Light. _____________________________________ .
