The sun rises in the darkest of times peeking its ray of hope and sunshine
reminding us that spirit has a lot to teach us.

The clouds and storms wash away all our dismantled parts so we can see the truth
of our heart connections.

The moon rises, illuminating the truth of our existence that we are all one where
we return to our true nature:

Teaching us patience and resilience, so we can rise stronger and healthier for all
humankind, where we hold hands once again and sing in harmony.

As the clouds turn heavy and dark and can’t hold our sorrow they weep, cleansing
our soul and whisper, stay strong and keep the faith.

Our modern world is challenging in so many ways, particularly when it comes to
maintaining our self-worth in a modern world where values seem to have changed
so much in our lifetime. It can be isolating, and it is easy to lose gratitude for
what we are and have achieved in life and our hopes for the future. Thankfully,
there are those amongst us who know precisely the right words to comfort, inspire
and to motivate us to be the best version of ourselves. One of those is Cindy
Georgakas, and in this collection of poetry, you will find the encouragement and
support to remind you, not just of your worth in this world, but the path going
forward to a better life.

Celebrating Poetry by Cindy Georgakas is a radiant collection of a soul’s love songs

the heavy limbs binding us to fear.
