DESCRIPTION
I had the insight while I was washing the dishes this morning and saw very clearly on a plate I was about to wash, the shape of a cross made of bread crumbs. [110 words]
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
My name is Adriana, and though I have a nickname, an American friend has told me I have a beautiful name, and uses only my full name. I am a woman, a dreamer who has a passion for life, and loves writing, and I must say, that I breathe words in and out.
I started writing in 2003, as I was internally urged on to do so. Poetry is a natural outcome of my life, and I felt that I was guided or maybe even destined to write, a feeling that took over and could not be stopped.
I love writing all types of poems and am glad when emails arrive from other people on the web, telling me that I put into words exactly the way they feel. Helping people is a nice way to forget about one's own personal problems and keep on going. Another reason that I have been writing is to improve my English. As English is not my native language, writing in English is another way to be even closer to this beautiful language. It has always come so naturally to me, that I can consider it a gift from Heaven.
I was born and raised in Brazil. In marriage, I spent some time in the USA with an American citizen. Sadly though, it did not work out, and I returned to my native land, Brazil. Memories of the time I lived there are nice, and one day I hope I am able to go back to that beautiful country to visit and enjoy all the good things it has to offer.
Teaching is what I do as an occupation and have a love for it, while writing is not only my love, but a hobby and a friend as well. As life's trials come I realize just how blessed I am in God and that He is everything to me.
My children are grown and are young adults now. One is currently living in Italy and works as an Architect, and the other is a psychologist and lives here, in São José dos Campos.
Soon, I will be a grandmother and will continue writing poetry and enlighten people's lives with my gift.
My ultimate dream is to have one of my original poems used as lyrics in a song, and then hear it on many radio stations.

Fragance Of Heaven Dri Cook
Fragance of heaven,
divine cross,
unshaped piece of wood
born to be a miraculous tool
that urges a response
from mankind,
poor souls,
lost minds wandering about,
instrument of salvation,
sign of life
in deserted
lonely hearts,
how lucky you are,
you held in your arms
God himself,
sweet fragance,
blessed cross,
you bring us joy,
wash away our sins,
you tasted the divine blood,
heard His last sigh on Earth,
showed the world
that even so hurtful
you're a miracle,
death turned into life,
divine log,
you enlighten our beings
like a great delight,
you're a storm that
becomes a breeze,
the most wonderful proof
of love of Someone who died
for us to live,
you always win,
even though everything else
seems to be lost
