again 
empty that sea-glassed heart 
broken into smithereens...again 
empty it back to the sea 
scatter that splintered heart 
beyond the shore 
and cast all the colored shards 
of the heart 
off the pier 
then let the wind 
reshape it...again 
and have the sunbeams 
ask the moonbeams 
and the glittering starlights above 
to remold that 
shattered fragmented 
sea-glassed heart 
again
Suzanne Webb has spent a lifetime in public education enhancing learning through photography. She has dedicated her energy to the art of teaching and to showing children of all ages the wonder of creativity. A fortunate stroke of serendipity introduced her to "a timeless poet" named jani johe webster from Upstate New York. Her poetry influenced Suzanne's teaching practices and photography. Suzanne and jani collaborated together many times and created two books that are collections of photography and poetry: Whispers for a Magical Time and Ripples of Light. Suzanne resides in the historic seaport city of Salem, Massachusetts.
