Amber Noel Wilbur is creative writing graduate of Cardinal Stritch University, born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She written poetry about nature, beauty, chaos, life, death, and spirituality, for over twenty years. Poetry is her form of meditation and how she expresses her perspective on and appreciation for existence. She has also published five books of poetry on Amazon, and is currently working on a new collection, and a new novel. The attached poem is her take on a woman's life and her inner secret world, her umwelt. It captures this world as a metaphor, as if she were a painting of a garden.
