Hope will come to me like a firefly
In my hour of ebony fog,
Burning with luminosity
From nowhere else but God.

I didn't know you had a blog! I would love to try making macarons with you. My sister tried them and her first batch were a huge success. One woman left me a comment and she had just posted hints on making them successfully. I hadn't had them until this trip and I fell in love.

I love this excerpt. Where is the whole poem found?

Hi Sage. That makes me so happy that you would want to read the whole poem. No one has ever asked that before. I wrote the poem during a really challenging time when I was sick for a long, long time. Here is the link (If the link doesn't work, click on the "poetry" category and scroll way down near the bottom. It's down there somewhere).
