Soul-Soothing Poetry Oftentimes, the wounds of the world weigh heavily on the mind. If compounded by personal challenges, they are likely to become a source of draining anxiety and despair. Against such a bleak backdrop, this lyrical journey attempts to highlight the self-affirming qualities which poetry can display. Inspired by Mother Nature´s divine beauty, I have done my utmost to turn these pages into a source of solace, courage, hope and serendipity. May this book entice my fellow travelers to seek and find harmony in their souls and to share their light with the universe. María Alejandra Benavent
