A Simple Reminder

written by: John Patrick Robbins

Must we be entertained by the mindless?
Than simply using our own.

I opened a bottle and started writing what you're reading now.

You're never alone with your thoughts, simply the question is:

Are you ready or willing to face the truths of your existence unshielded?

The lights are off but I'm always home.

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.
