Elements
Photo by Gabriela Palai on Pexels.com I ask myself Am I the wind That blows into every corner of this Earth? Or am I the snow Floating gently from the heavens To rest at the world’s gate?

A Woman’s War
Photo by Veronika Valdova on Pexels.com This poem is close to my heart, it reflects on why world peace is something I won’t give up on, the idea that humanity can be sensible and respect each other, and stop being scared. I can only give one small voice to this battle, which is the realContinueContinue reading “A Woman’s War”
