By Saskia Maddock  There is silence between us Silence in truth not spoken Silence in separate lives Carved out of our one That cannot be explained Not without breaking Shattering some part of your heart Or mine The heaviness in my soul I must carry myself For if I put it down Show it to you I will never be able to pick it up again And your strength will be crushed Under The weight of my secrets...  • Born in the Netherlands, Saskia Maddock immigrated to Canada with her family in 1967. She loves languages and speaks more or less fluent French, Dutch and German, with a bit of Spanish thrown in. She has always been drawn to express herself in poetry, to recognize and to communicate on paper those moments when she understands the reality around her. After years of friends and family suggesting she go public with her writing, she finally decided to do so. Her first book life unmasked is part of her journey through this wonderful, chaotic, messy world of ours. |
