In Pursuit of Poetry

March 18, 2020 - Cleo Wade - it was time

March 18
it was time by Cleo Wade. This is a poem from her book Heart Talk: Poetic Wisdom For A Better Life.
I love this little volume. The back of the book tells the reader that she blends "positivity with arresting honesty to inspire people of all ages." It also goes on to say she has "poured her spirituality and poetically infused wisdom into an accessible book you won't want to be without." I happen to agree with that assessment and I am glad I have this book in my arsenal, particularly when I am feeling a little down on myself.
