    cannot express through words? . . . and silently keep it in our own Mind
    Space . . . sometimes wrongly. Graze deeply, criticize, but know, this is
    not one perfect specimen, it is snapshots of the same raw Pot, caught in
    the process of being formed.

    Mariya Louw

    MARIETJIE LOUW (B.Ed. CPuT.), has been a writer since she can remember. when she was five, her mother helped her to write a letter she dictated, which was published in the Huisgenoot of 1991(?). At seven, she wrote a short poem about Tyd (“Time”) that was published in her school’s own paper, Die Horison. Countless more little notebooks had been filled by her during her primary school years, in Grade 8 she entered a poetry Competition, and published Thoughts. During high school, many a teenager’s Sturm und Drang time in life, she poured her heart out via her pen . . . Even the trials she has faced in life up and until now, have mostly ended hopeful, for her faith that carries her through, and helps her make sense of the trials and tribulations of life.

      The Shaping - Mariya Louw

      Before

      Poems written in 2002

      missing image file

      On being taught

      Creative Writing, 2002

      Of all the days gone by

      I can still hear the cry

      "Everything I’ve been taught,

      Just added up to naught."

      Every word uttered today

      made things turn out this way

      I don’t know if it’s all that bad

      out of frustration, questioning where we are going . . .

      I have a friend

      He is incredibly hilarious

      He always makes me smile when I am down,

      I think he is a good friend.

      and I need him just like he is.

      Friends are there to help us in times of worry and sadness.

      Friends are there to bring heaven a little closer to our hearts

      We need friends to survive our lives.

      We sometimes need God to survive our
