‘The best gift I could give my heart’
Dear reader,
Carl Sandberg once said: Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
An intruiging way of saying poetry invites feelings that make you want to hide under a blanket.
Many shadows were asked to dance in the thirty years that fill this book. Starting with the early loss of my mom.
These poems weren’t written with the intention to publish. I just had to take pen to paper and start writing to keep deep, dark and overwhelming feelings from swallowing my heart and sending my soul to oblivion. As I wrote, starting off in utter darkness, words turned into liquid gold filling up the cracks in my heart.
Turning restlessness into relief, grief into gratitude and loss into love.
Tears of dispair changed to tears of profound gratitude and selflove.
The words I wrote, were healing words. Are healing words.
They’re meant to help. Meant to heal.
They helped me dance with my shadows.
And I trust they help you dance with yours.
Especially on days that life gets cold.
Love, Diane
Diane van den Heuvel is a wordsmith, lover of life and writer of two published bundles of poetry: ‘Als alles leeft’ and ‘Dark love’.
