A Ray Of Hope...

written by: Jan Smith

@JanSmithNL

The storm began to ease
All the broken pieces of her life
fallen at her feet
Shards of fear & yesterday
scattered in the dirt & dust

A ray of hope casting light
from deep within her soul
She picked up every piece
& threw them to the wind
Placed fresh spring flowers
on her table, smiled &
began again...

I have recently started writing poetry, through my work and academic training I gained knowledge and a passion for the written word. Much of my writings are reflections, thoughts and observations of my personal journey of self-discovery.

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
