What you've happened to stumble upon is my book of poetry. I put these poems in chronological order, beginning with my very first writings up to my most recent. As many of us tremble, attempting to march through life with a sense of grace, we are bound to find solace in something. For some it may be other humans, the arts, or maybe a physical activity. I have found my solace through the power of language, the power of the universe, and the power of nature. Whether it be through music, lyrics, poetry, books, research papers, or articles, words are what our world is centered around. This book contains fragments of my life. Some are memories I have retained throughout the years, but most are short stories of my life represented in a bigger way. If I could share with you all the things I've learned, believe me, I would. This collection of words and your interpretation will have to suffice. I wish for you to find solace through these words, or your own words, as I have. I will finish by telling you this: words have the ability to poison or heal, to scar or sing, to demolish or develop. Let's be conscious of the power we allow our word to hold, and the way we present it to others.. May peace and the everlasting love of the universe be with you. Sincerely, Valerie Anne
