Sparks of the heart and shards of the soul

Passion, love, heartbreak, great sorrow – sometimes life is an emotional rollercoaster. When everything seems dark and there is no way forward, rays of light soon break through the darkness again. The sun makes the world shine again.

How can we preserve happiness and joy and banish suffering and pain? Poetry is there for us in dark, agonizing hours and reminds us of the beautiful sides of life. In happy moments, it can increase the joy even more.

More than 50 poems unfold the power of poetry in this volume. From the magic of a spring morning, it goes to the struggle with depression and separation, and on to the great happiness of friendship – and finally back again.
