I collect your voices.

Every comment received,

a keepsake that

shapes our community.

***

Writers bloom under

gentle affirmations,

ferns that rely upon

the perfect balance of

moisture to thrive.

***

Each one of your offerings

provides warmth

as I slowly unfurl.

I gather your words

of kindness and support

and treasure them

for moments when I’m

feeling unsure.

In times of doubt,

I call on your soft notes

to hush those negative murmurs.

***

Sprinkle those mementos,

no matter the scope.

Shed a glimmer of light

in the corners of a writer's mind

Our voices raise each other up,

spark motivation,

and help our community flourish.
