Cendrine Marrouat, the author, has regrouped five years of poetry and arranged her pieces according to life’s most important stages: birth, teenage years, adulthood, and elevation. This last stage represents man’s understanding and realization of the ultimate fulfillment in life.
Excerpt
THE GREATNESS IN TRIALS
The more we grow
The more pain we throw
In the air of space.
One day, eyes open
To the world, one sees
The beauty of sorrow.
For there is a natural splendor
In the way we handle
Truth and feelings.
Bittersweet memories
And instant gratification
Will not change the world.
Hope will always be the anchor.
Raging seas and tempests
Will scratch the surface of things.
But deep within,
Sovereign is the hour –
The instant of graceful harmony –
That leads body and soul
To tender Trinity.
Remember the sweet melody
Of the hardest trials.
For they are the only keys
To happiness’s locks.
Oh, the greatness in trials!
