All That Remains

written by: James Bell

@jbell_counsel

Only through words can our futile thoughts find some semblance of order

Life brings discord and chaos with seldom a safe haven or welcoming border

Letters crowd and litter the paintings framed by the mind

What perceptive sentences can we ever hope to find

Phrases like blood surge through our warm veins

In the end a beautifully etched story is all that remains

Wife, mother, former U.S. Army sergeant, and dental hygienist, Laura can now add published author to the list. She continues to work as a dental hygienist, which she’s done for over 19 years, hoping to transition out of that within a handful of years and make writing a full-time endeavor. Her publishing dreams came true (at the age of 50!) in 2017. Since then, she’d had the fortune to work with multiple publishers and connect with fantastic people. A voracious reader herself, she strives to write stories she can be proud of and enjoyed by many; ones that are not only sexy and fun, but thoughtful as well. When younger, her love of writing started with poetry after encouragement from her 4th grade teacher. She continues to write poetry, prose, and short stories, enjoying the challenges of various styles. She’s honored to have been recognized as Author of the Month with Spillwords.
