The Steps in the Path: A Collection of Poetry and Thoughts

by Denise Reese-Shaw

What is life? Life is love, laughter, anger, expectation, downfall, reevaluation. Life is adventure and sad songs, joy in the rain. Life is stopping to take a look at the world you live in. Stop and take a look at life through this author’s eyes. Life, told through interpretive poetry and introspective essays. Let’s & GlassI drop a penny into a bottleHoping it makes an impactHoping it makes a sound.I drop that very bottle into the oceanHoping to send a message.The bottle is nothing specialJust simple glass,The penny just a piece of copper still.But brought together maybe they can be something more.Something extraordinary.And if that same bottle and that same penny can traverse the perilous seas,Then who’s to say that their penny in their bottle cannot make the same journey?Who’s to say that their glass and copper isn’t special?No one, that’s who.So drop your penny into the bottle,Put it out to sea.Together we can make an impact,Even if all we have is just copper and glass. ©2018 Denise Reese-Shaw

So Heartfelt

I beyond enjoyed this read. The writer pulls you into their world, making me feel as if I am there, in the moment. This book is encouraging, thought provoking, and makes you dig deep into your inner self. I hated to see it end. Definitely looking forward to reading more from this author.
