"Thoughts must not be stifled; they need tears, an outlet, a sigh, words." Quote by_Constance I was born in a winter snow storm, that began with a few filigree flakes; kissing trees, then, became a monster roaring and howling. Through life I have always had an affinity with snow, with the sun and a breeze; even, as a child I was a thinker and crayon writer, until, grandma gave me a journal and pen; now, a writer- and words are my trees !

Linda, thank you for the compliment, and congratulations, yes grandma was a big part in me being a writer, I really miss her, she used to call me Dear Heart. I used to write under that name until something told me to write under my own name, blessings ~

Congratulations on your third place win in my contest, A Child of Light, Constance. The very personal tone—very ‘memoir’— beautifully sets up the tonal slippage in the final line: an earned evolution with the imaginative metaphor ‘and words are my trees’. It shifts the tone from reflective nostalgia to a grounded affirmation, embodying the slippage.
