A Heart's Window
by Lisa Sherk

When you open your heart’s window, everyday moments transform into the magical. A Heart’s Window is a collection of rhyming and free verse poetry, reading like a story. It explores the magic of subtle moments, navigating from family and friendship to love, loss, and the wonder of nature. Although heartache is not ignored, the focus of the collection is on the light that stands in contrast to the shadows. Each poem is accompanied with an image, a further reflection on the themes of love, loss, and nature. This poetry is relatable, universal, and encourages hope, strength, and the beautiful moments that make up each day. Inspired by the author’s own experiences along with people she encounters, this compilation strives for beauty, while wading through the waves of disappointment and heartache.
