Description
"Dark Moon" is a book of poetry that highlights the duality of human nature. Like the moon, there's a bright side that the world sees as well as a dark side that is hidden from view. Often times people hide their deepest pains from the rest of the world in order to be strong and to avoid being a burden to others. In this book the author dives deep into the raw emotions that one can feel as well as how important it is to look at the bright side. The moon shines the brightest when the sky is the darkest, and though it goes through phases it always returns to full. This collection of poetry is about healing from trauma and prioritizing self-love, inner peace, growth, and transformation.
About the author

L. Benedicta is a poet who started at the age of 16 years old when she wrote her first poem as part of a class assignment. After writing this poem she noticed a sense of relief that she found to be unexplainable, but didn't think much of it until years later when coming to a very trying time in her life. Writing became a place of peace, and a way for Benedicta to express herself without judgement or ridicule for her thoughts and emotions that she'd never let show. Benedicta finds solace in her art and has written hundreds of poems over the years. She is an ambitious poet who writes for the shear passion of self expression with hopes of inspiring others to do the same, in a way that resonates with them. Establishing balance in all aspects of Self is crucial and essential to live a life of fulfillment and gratification. Poetry has assisted Benedicta with becoming aware of this, and has become a passion she never would've expected...inspirited because of a class that she didn't even want to take.

Wow!!! 🖤🌑💖 I admit my bias, I have a personal relationship with the author. However, I am overly educated and rather literarily picky - while I'll always financially support a friend's artistic endeavor, I am hard won to proclaim it loudly from mountaintops. I have, as of this writing, passed less than a week of hosting this book of vivid, modern poetry as an oracle on my budding YouTube channel and already the playlist is the most popular by far, surpassing all other tarot and oracle readings - which really says something about the message therein! This work is universal, deep, compelling, and sweet. Any romantic will enjoy a step inside Benedicta's world of vulnerable honesty, gripping familiar pain, and triumph over the darkness of the human experience as a lover. Well done, my friend!! And so the journey truly begins, I couldn't be more proud to know you!!!! Read more

But somehow perfectly writes. Great read. Read more

Dark Moon This book gave me an in depth look into the soul of the author's inner self by her clearly expressing her thoughts and feelings. I enjoyed reading the book and I'm proud to say it lead me to thinking about my own inner self. Each poem gave me a special feeling of peace and calm. I'm looking forward to and excited about reading L. Benedicta (author) next book. Read more
