    About this ebook

    Poetry to me is the sacred language
    of the heart and soul.
    It is the raw, uncensored,
    deep thoughts, experiences,
    senses, that come from my inner core.
    It is the magical part of the mundane.
    It is the description of the things
    not everyone sees and talks about.
    It is the connection to God, the universe,
    the moon and stars and everything in between.
    It is the flowers of the spoken world
    collected into a colourful bouquet.
    It is the flow of consciousness
    sometimes emerging from the unconscious,
    revealing the unknown.
    It is the life force pouring out
    and transforming into words
    that are an invitation to connect us
    in a meaningful, sacred and supportive way.

    A Piece of her heart is a collection of poetry written by Teri Petz. You will be pleased because the poems embody the finest and most beautiful shades of expressions the human soul could share. Teri’s poetry explores the intricate connections between humans and nature. The reader will find themselves being drawn into the heartfelt feelings, emotions and new connections to the universe. The poetry reflects a world-view of wonder, appreciation, and love. To share in her vision is to have hope again while also seeing clearly, hearing fully. Teri's poems reflect the struggles and triumphs of everyday life and are spiced with some humour a few times. Her goal is not only to entertain you but also to leave little seeds of inspiration and validation to whatever your journey may be. Whatever road you are on, whatever you may be experiencing she wants you to know that many of us have been there before, even if it feels like you are all alone.

      A Thank You Note

      Preface

      Dear reader, thank you for your trust in buying my book of poetry. I appreciate your trust in me and hope you will find enjoyment in reading my poems. I have been writing the contents of this book between 2000 and 2020. The poems reflect the struggles and triumphs of everyday life and are spiced with some humour a few times. My goal is not only to entertain you but also to leave little seeds of inspiration and validation to whatever your journey may be. Whatever road you are on, whatever you may be experiencing I want you to know that many of us have been there before, even if it feels like you are all alone.

      I would love to hear from you and find out if anything I wrote here resonates with you.

      This is what a few people had to say about my poetry:

         "True and original poetry includes the whole world in it because it sees the good the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. This excellent publication you are about to read is offering the many facets of universal poetry. I am guided by my best intentions and humility to offer you these wonderful poems written by Teri Petz. You will be pleased because they embody the finest and most beautiful shades of expressions the human soul could share. Thank you for reading this rare treasure."

      Imre Szekely, Graphic Artist, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

         "My reading of the poetry of Teri Petz over the last two decades has prompted me to make the following testimonial: Teri’s poetry explores the intricate connections between humans and nature. The reader will find them selves being drawn into the heartfelt feelings, emotions and new connections to the universe. Read on please!"

      Neil Gillespie, retiree, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada

      Teri Petz is a poet, through and through, life-long and in her bones. Her poetry reflects a world-view of wonder, appreciation, and love. To share in her vision is to have hope again while also seeing clearly, hearing fully.

      Cat Charissage, poet, educator & counsellor in Soulwork

         "When I listen and go over Ms. Teri Petz’s poetry...A lovely soul in her resides.

      With the powerful words that burns deep inside. Capturing ones’ heart. With her work of art in poetry. Like the flower misses the sun. Her messages gives inspiration to everyone.

      I so long to read more of her poems. And see all the poets gather and listen to her with applause...Hope, love, nature, and beauty of life...

      That’s what I admire about Ms.Teri Petz’s poetry style."
