"Broken Places": A Poetical Journey

"Life is full of much pleasure and much pain. We learn that pain does not last forever. All our experiences become blessings. Letting go is a True Gift from God. Forgiveness is a True Gift to One's Self. For holding on to yesterdays only imprisons us. I believe coming out of silence is my strength exposed. There is no strength in silence. Many nights of tears go into these pages. My compassion for others is why I share my soul through my poetry -- If only to ease one heart from aching, know that others share your pain. To show that, by wisdom, we grow stronger. For in that wisdom and strength, we learn to grow and blossom and become who we are meant to be" Natalina Russo
