My Eyes Are Open Now: A Book of Poems was created after the author, Lorraine S Gamble, overcame addiction and began to express herself through poetry.

The unique quality of the poetry is a reflection of the authors spiritual awakening that brought her back on a journey to what she was meant to be. After many years of not seeing the beauty in the world, she opened her eyes to an entirely new existence.

The words in the poetry are meant to encourage healing and a feeling of joy for the reader. Lorraines wisdom and life experiences are qualities she expresses in her poetry. When we concentrate on the negative side of life we miss out on the most important part life has to offer: the joy!

The words in this inspirational collection will encourage the reader to find their joy by keeping their spiritual eyes open!
