This is for all you bloggers out there who are sharing that poetic pure light.


Creating poems is like walking bare, completely bare, in a world where every one is wearing armors of steel. However, in order for a poet to survive the harshness and malice of walking on dangerous paths, she will have to sew herself a garment of light, pure light. This is a very challenging quest. The key is to preserve honesty at all times and not to get lured by the illusion of ephemeral manifestations which surround us every day. Poetry is to see and to speak the truth at any possible price.
