The Swallow

written by: Jasmin Mödlhammer

@Asthalos

When stormy waves
starting to swallow my heart
I'll be reborn

My past will fade away
like leaves
in autumn

And my future
will be written in the sky
filled with stars

Bright and hopeful

I guess two quotes of my favorite author describes me the most:

"I write because it fulfills me. I do it for the pure joy of the living and if you can do it for joy, you can do it forever." - Stephen King

"Quiet people have the loudest minds." - Stephen King

I live in the small town of Long Lake, Minnesota, west of Minneapolis. I worked many years as a sales and technical training instructor. I began writing seriously in 2011 by writing a poem a day for a year. I loved the process and stayed with, focusing on rhymed poems and haiku. In 2015 I met a fellow writer who encouraged me to begin writing short stories. I did. In early 2018 I submitted my first story on-line and it was featured on CafeLit. I have been off and running since then. Bridge House Publishing is releasing a collection of twenty-seven of my stories later in 2020. I love the process of coming up with an idea and creating a story that hopefully has both emotional impact and is interesting to read. I have no plans on stopping. Many thanks to Spillwords for featuring my stories, and thank you to those who read them and who voted for me. It is truly an honor to have been selected as Author of the Month.
