    Devotion & Demise: A Book of Poetry

    About this ebook

    A collection of poems, throughout a growing expansion, depicting the struggles and distress one must face generally in life, and especially at the loss of a loved one. However unexpected a tragedy, these poems seek to aid those in voicing their intangible feelings and invoking in others the same release, and the same hope that is instinctively bottled up in self-desolation when despair strikes. This book of poems aspires to reflect on the pain that suppresses the hope we all once held close, while simultaneously instilling faith and recalling the benevolence of life we all so deserve.

She wishes to instill in others the cries that they cannot voice and the hope that has yet to be seen.

      Winning Letter

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      This Is Why

      I love the opening line of our feature about women leaders in mindfulness: “This is why we practice.” It feels like a manifesto, capturing how to live now. Because as the world convulses with turmoil, my mind convulses, too. My thoughts fly like a st
