From There To Here ..... (Diamente)

Hell
             drunk, destitute
          falling, crying, dying
    Devil, Monster, Warrior, Woman
     standing, laughing, recovering,
              sober, serene
                   Heaven

Very powerful writing Sue. Perfect title and two ends of a spectrum achieved in so few words - and done so well.

interesting format that is wisely used to convey a message. (truthfully I don't believe I have seen this format before):) Nice one!
