jani johe shared her unique style and insight which
left readers in awe. But more importantly, she was a bright light in the
writing community, always ready to support others in their journeys. I am
glad to have been able to call her my friend. She is missed by many.
Sincerely, Karen O’Leary--Editor
sound of dreams
what are
the sounds of dreams
on a winter
dark night
it has been snowing steadily
and dawn comes all white and silent
with snowflakes dressed
like tiny poems
Thoughts from Nila Webster--This poem, like so many of my mother's captures the Zen of the season. Winter does bring its dark nights, for certain, yet the image of dawn 'white' and 'silent' is filled with hope and beauty. I love the idea that the snowflakes are dressed like tiny poems.

A soothing poem, wonderfully written. It gives me a feeling of coziness sitting inside, while the world around me is covered with a soft blanket of virgin snow. A lovely remembrance of Jani's work

This is beautiful in its simplicity; the imagery serene and touches like a soft caress. // paul
