    About this ebook

    ... even though darkness will cloud your vision,
    The stars will be the light when you dream,
    Guiding you to better paths,
    Reminding you of the success in new chances ...

    Heart Strings is a collection of poems of hope, rebirth, and reawakening.

    It is a source of hope to those who have given up, or are going through hardships; a reminder that there is light at the end of the tunnel, that this too shall pass, and a new day will come.

      Joy

      May 5, 2022

      Remember to think on joy, my love.Remember to think on joy. May it be a steamy, hot bath.Or the incredibly long neck of a giraffe. Crunching a leaf.A crooning song-weep. Sandy shifted, foot-tread whispers.Or the ochre-dusty finger paint, that lingers
