Today I’m thrilled to have author Sharon Grigg on my blog.
As part of my 2018 book challenge, I’m reading more poetry – not something I typically read. Sharon’s coffee break companion is a compilation of short stories and poems. I thought this one, Sky, was beautiful, plus it has a link to a prophecy in Eternal Seas, but you’ll need to read my book to find out why!
SKY
When it’s dark and quiet
While my World sleeps
I sit and stare
Feel the magic in the air
The sky at night
A true delight
Moodily cloud covered
Or sparkling clear
I love to see the stars that shine
Constellations I can barely name
And the moon
Waxing, waning, crescent or full
The sky at night
A true delight
Peaceful and free
Alone with just me
The colours behold me
Blues of every shade
Sapphire and twilight
Prussian and midnight
Deep purple to maroon
All gone too soon
As dawn creeps in
Bringing new light
The darkness fades
Stars hide away
Birds begin to sing
New light on everything

Author Bio: This is the first published book by S.L. Grigg having previously written a popular blog on mental health, and having articles published by Mind, the mental health charity, and NHS England. Working for NHS England from a home in Bromsgrove, England, S.L Grigg lives with a partner and two adult children. S.L Grigg has studied everything from Science and Law, to Journalism and Pilates but writing has always been the greatest passion in S.L.Grigg’s life.
Sharon Grigg, who writes under the pen name S.L Grigg, made it her new year’s resolution to publish her book ‘Coffee Break Companion’ during 2018. After bouncing back from mental health problems (BPD), following the death of her husband from a brain tumour in 2009, Sharon was struck down with kidney and other health problems, believed to be linked to having the Essure sterilisation device she had implanted back in 2008. In September 2017 she underwent major surgery to have a non-functioning hydronephrotic kidney removed at the same time as a full hysterectomy to remove the essure device. Just two months after setting her goal Sharon launched the collection of dark, short stories and poetry on Amazon. Many of the stories were written during Sharon’s battle with mental health. 41-year-old mother of two, Sharon says “For me publishing was never about, money or fame. I just wanted to be able to hold a copy of my book and say, ‘I wrote this’ and now I can.”

I tend to not read much poetry, though I do read some and do write it myself (just for myself, as an outlet) this looks good.
