How She Heals

In this first book of poetry . . .

Shelly Smith welcomes us into the magic of everyday life as seen through the eyes of the healer and mystic. Her poems reflect her intimate relationship with nature and the spiritual lessons to be found there. She invites us to relax into the beauty of our earthly home and allow it to quench our spiritual thirst.

She writes about aging, self-worth, and living life as a highly sensitive person.

How She Heals offers spiritual guidance for dealing with these and other life challenges - often with insights that cut straight to the heart.

"This book of poetry is a little treasure-chest of medicine for the soul! The poems are insightful and wise, based upon personal experience, and yet universal in nature, so that the reader feels as though they've had a part in the creation of each one. Some are humorous, others are sad, and all are deeply meaningful and thought-provoking. Each one is carefully crafted, brimming with "mots justes", and thoughtfully anthologized. Highly recommended."

HOW SHE HEALS

It has saved me more than once -
this example that she gives
of life renewing life.

For every winter she dies,
(or so it seems),
with her bare branches and brown grass
and the darkness that settles
as if to stay, forever.

And I wait with her in the dark
and I wonder if we're done,
and if the silent grayness
and sleep,
are the new normal.

Then quietly she rouses -
a little here
a little there
and I wake up slowly with her,

in utter amazement, once again
on seeing what was growing
while it seemed
that we were sleeping.
