My name is Heather Mirassou, I come from America’s Oldest Winemaking Family, I have been writing poetry since I was twelve years old. My favorite poet at the time was Leo Buscaglia, who writes about love. I sent him a letter and a few of my poems and he wrote back rewarding me with a signed book of poetry and an inspirational letter. He said I was a NATURAL POET and I should continue writing poetry and learn and practice as much as I could. I will always remember his influence on my writing and my will to follow in his footsteps. The symbolic interpretation of my last name, Mirassou is: Mirror of the soul One who reflects within The watcher of light A woman who sees truth beneath the surface

    Nature as a Metaphor for Lasting Love – by Heather Mirassou

    We are as one in chatter, laughter and silence.We are like moonbeams tied to each other with rope. We float trusting each other not to let go.We are like falling stars, shining through each others eyes, mesmerized.We are like the ocean, waves dancing at the shore in unity drawing each other in.We are like Redwood…
