The Purple Sun: A Poetry Book of Domestic Violence #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthors #lierature #poetrybooks #domesticviolence

 



It was significant to me last night during bed rest what the green leaf that God shone the sun onto for me and to show others when I was at Washington Park in Portland Oregon through the hiking trail the path I needed to follow for this book. This is a lot of what these poems are about in this book. Please take in its importance and I hope to shed hope onto the world.


Another land, time place

another dark scary door

that this purple sun opens

It carries to a tunnel

I'm not afraid 

I'm stepping in

the green leaf changes its color

Last night it signified to me

when I had cried in pain

as the blood flowed from me

I asked God to take me

he replied to tell the story

of what’s going on as he saved me

As the beginning of this poem

came to me later 

that I didn’t remember that I wrote

or how it came about

it's at these times that I realize 

it's from God.

Some Book Covers #newpoetrybook #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthors #literature #poetrybooks

 





Wanted to share the book covers I've been working on for my next poetry book for Apple Books and Amazon Books. Not sure about the last one that has a lot of white space. I'm pretty happy about the 1rst one that's Amazon's cover. Of course there's a good chance they'll be changes down the road.

"I Feel So Close To God" Finished Final Copy #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #musicarranger #newsong

I just finished the final copy to this song using Minor2Go music loops. Of course that makes the entire song so much better. 


Song Lyrics:

Verse

I'm up one more day

The sun is shining

though I don't feel 

as connected as others do

I'm still so grateful



Chorus

I feel so close to God

But I don't want to reach him too soon

Please tell him to love me......

And let me remain


Verse

Another Sunday I can't make it to church

though I connect with those that perished

on a daily basis 


I feel I have much to do

I feel his message

I  fight to put into words

the meaning of my existence



Chorus

I feel so close to God

I don't want to reach him too soon

Please tell him to love me...

And let me remain..…...



Verse

I looked at your face

and learned what pain was from you

I can’t imagine the pain you suffered

or maybe I did


I was the black sheep of the family

a mess when I needed help most

I felt death too but I escaped

I learned what love is



Chorus

I feel so close to God

I don't want to reach him too soon

Please tell him to love me...

And let me remain..…...



I feel so close to God


repeat


so close to God





Someone Will Hear Your Intelligent Words (Updated) #sometimesabrokenflower #poetrybook #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthors #literature

I'm refining my poems. It's getting close to another book. 

Even as your hiding

Even in the dark

Walking around corners

So far from everyone 


As you dodge in and out 

Throughout your day

Waiting for the chance 

to speak in the night 

for no one else to hear


She is there 

Far away

Dark and cold

So cold so deep so light

Deep down buried


The sun shines so yellow

Fills the sky 

2 skies that fold 

1 an unknown place

So surreal far away into another land


Into another land 

Someone will hear 

your intelligent words.

Running Through Nooks and Crannies To Feel Freedom #lorijeanfinnila #writer #freedom

Image by Free Fun Art from Pixabay

I used to go to this large house filled with nooks and crannies that ran endless that we could run through to feel freedom. It was a lot like this photo but there was no books. I wasn’t allowed to go to the library once I was a young juvenile.

Ladies Please Fight #president #abused #women #longtermeffects

(Updated)

Ladies we need to fight. Out of the 75% of us abused and the ones with CTE and other lifelong sustaining injuries from abuse fighting for our lives, it’s only going to get worse if we vote for a president with no compassion. And those baby steps that we fight to go forward to be able to talk about what’s been done to us will be lost, being told now ‘if there’s no marks on our bodies.’ Please stand together. There are more women than men. Sneak out and vote if you have to. Use the buddy system to cover for one another.



The 'Lord Almighty' or Biden's team? He now says he'd drop out if shown 'no way' to win

First Athlete Diagnosed with CTE

Imagine being a woman banged around all day long.


The Trump Administration Quietly Changed the Definition of Domestic Violence and We Have No Idea What For
