About Raelene J. Elliss

Many years ago, Raelene J. Elliss’ brother passed away in a drowning accident at a popular surf beach in South Australia. Her heart was broken, and the strain of the grief was unbearable. She had no idea how to express her feelings about that tragic loss.
One very warm evening, as she lay awake, unable to sleep due to the worry in her life, she wrote down her feelings on a scrap of paper. Out of that scrawling came her first poem. That was in 1986, and now more than 30 years down the track, Raelene has written more than 200 poems. They have mainly been for her family in celebration of milestones, birthdays, and Christmas.
She developed a knack for picking up a word, phrase, or very funny situation that would inspire a poem. She calls herself the Poetic Rambler and signs her poems as such. Raelene hopes that her poems bring joy and inspiration to whoever reads them.

    She gazed into his face

    The infant will take his place

    Where the ocean meets the sky
    The setting colours stun
    Breathe in the serenity
    The scene was made by one

    We live in a world filled with hurt, disappointment, deceit, betrayal and the list of unkind things rolls on.
    Uncertainty and the fact that we don't have the courage on our own is the most powerful force that will ever come into.
    Jesus faced those things in his ministry and he laid down his life, to free us from out sin.
    This poem was inspired by a sermon that was preached recently in my church.
    The message was about the broken sign post in our lives that lead us away.

    Our world is labeled
    With words so curt
    Spoken words aimed
    To wound and hurt

    To put it in a bit shell, He is everything and all we ever needed.
    Open up your heart and hold Him close.

    The last word is the beginning
    The revelation that starts it all
    The images of His word
    The things that have unfurled

Hilarious, exactly what happens. It's a conspiracy against to pervert the course of poetic license. Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
