I open the box.

To believe in tomorrow I must believe that today anything is possible-

I open the box and accept that there are no surprises within-

I awake and acknowledge that amazement no longer serves a purpose-

To believe in today I must believe that tomorrow anything is possible.

    Wonderful use of word and prose. Great to see published work! Have seen your other work and applaud your unique art and gripping words. Keep up the good work. Refreshing and Enticing.

    Perfect. Precise. Poignant. New talent or perhaps newly discovered talent written in the timeless wisdom of old. Bravo! Please look for our request to see more of your work and consider a compilation of your poetry for publishing. We will be contacting you by both personal e-mail and snail mail soon. This is not a solicitation for self publishing, we are an established publishing house seeking new talent, or rather undiscovered. We look forward to your response Mrs. Peaua.

    Most Sincerely Yours,

    Stevie Moulier

    Thank you Kathleen. I have been experiencing a lot of personal loss and professional strain. Your poem has given me hope and perspective. I never thought a few words could lift the spirit so completely.

    Thank YOU!

    I wanted to post a comment. I’ve read your other work posted and really find your words an inspiration and really something everyone in any walk of life can relate to. Just wanted to say thank you and also encourage you to keep writing.

    I really enjoyed it as well as your other poems. You have a talent that spans from a timeless art form of word usage to a modern delivery. Your poetry truly speaks to many and anyone wishing to know they can find a kindred soul that can relate to their life and know they are not alone…I would encourage others to read your poetry so that the \”feel\” and strong messages and honest and raw beauty that shows the level of personal vulnerability you are willing to expose does not go unappreciated nor unnoticed.

    Most Sincerely,
    Patrisi Sheffler (Senior Editor, —- —-)
