Editor's Thoughts/With a Pen’s Magic--By Karen O'Leary--United States

Dear Whispers’ Friends,

I reached into the archives for this poem that shares so much about my journey with all of you.  You are beacons of the light, with a chance to make the world a better place.  Joining together our light becomes bigger…brighter…

This community is about each of you and the joy you add to others’ lives.  So many people have emailed me about the quality of the poetry and the sense of belonging to something that matters.

And with our words…we kindle the lights and embrace others. That is spirit of Whispers, the reason why each one of you matter.  Thank you for your encouragement and support.

Blessings in the light,

Karen

With a Pen’s Magic

Writers help others experience the world…

Through sight…painting pictures of a sunset

            the beauty of a tulip, and the majesty

            of snow-capped mountains in summer.

Through hearing…capturing the magic

            in cascading water, the peace of harp

            music, and the joy in a child’s laughter.

Through taste…savoring the richness of coffee, 

            the delight of a Thanksgiving dinner,

            and the pleasure of milk chocolate.

Through smell…delivering the fresh scent

            of spring rain, the aroma of baking

            bread, and fragrance of a new book.

Through touch…transferring the breath

            of the wind, hands linked in sorrow,

            and the feel of a warm embrace.

…and jot on paper what others rush by.
