Poetry | Lucy Coleman - feelgood novels

Touched by The Light cover — Available now

I am a new author and my first book entitled ‘Touched by The Light’ is due out on 24 February 2011. I write novels about life, love, psychic connections and/or an astrological theme. As an avid reader myself I want a story to grab me and make me turn each page with eager expectation. I want characters that are rounded (no one’s perfect, we all have ‘baggage’, problems and mountains to climb) and will be easy to warm to. And I want an ending that feels complete. So I hope that my readers will curl up on the sofa with a coffee, glass of wine or healthy glass of fruit juice, for a read that they won’t want to put down and will allow them a little escape from the stresses of every day life.

‘Touched by the Light’ can be purchased via the publisher’s website (Book Guild Publishing Limited) or from major bookselling websites.

When I was twelve I doodled ‘Poetry is the epitaph of life’ in the margin of my English book. I stumbled across this recently and it made me realise how youth and inexperience actually allowed me to bare my soul in words, with no sense of holding back for fear of judgement. If only it was as easy as that as we grow older! This was a poem I wrote when I was fourteen years old –

Minutes of Uncertainty

The cold, grey morning
unwraps itself around my bed,
sliding over my dream and casting
that especially cruel Monday morning death
over my contented peace.

The time rolls on,
there is a destiny waiting,
a world unfulfilled,
lives to be led.

Beyond this, somewhere, is an end
where no tomorrow and no today survive,
where time hovers
and one hour becomes half an eternity,
the rest of our lives the missing half.
