Sylvia Severdija Miami, Florida

I have been writing for many years, and, recently, my work is beginning to be published. I write in simple words, so that everyone can understand.

A CANDLE AND A ROSE How deep it burns the gentle flame of a candle how deep it cuts the thorn on a gentle rose. In the beauty and innocence of a candle and a rose a lesson to learn for all of us. Life is as a candle life is as a rose and to handle them we must know.

UNTITLED The world for me is like a stage on which I play and every day after I am awake I must step up to give my best with shoulders straight my head up high my best smile I must start and every step that forward I give I must be ready to put on the stage the best performance the best in my life..

WILD BIRD Like a wild bird I fly up and down stretching my wings making designs as I ascend Into the sky. Daring to climb high and high daring to go far and far and then... to the ground I fall with broken heart. My tears washing my wounds My spirit mending my soul and slowly I begin again to rise a free bird in the blue sky. Where is Paradise?.
