Danon Smith — Poetry, Stories, and Reflection

Writing shaped by imagination and lived experience, where memory, emotion, and fiction gently intertwine.

My hope is that you find something here that resonates with you. I share poetry, stories, reflections, and photography shaped by imagination, lived experience, and quiet observation. Some pieces arrive polished, others remain raw — just as they first formed — and I revisit them over time with fresh perspective.

In this space, you will find poetry, prose, and stories alongside Bible lessons written for personal or small group study and encouragement. My creative work draws from imagination, memory, and the emotional landscapes of life, where truth of feeling matters more than factual detail.

I have known deep love, deep loss, and enduring joy. I am a widow who trusts God’s plan and looks forward with hope. Life continues to offer beauty, companionship, and reasons for gratitude each day. I am especially drawn to stories, music, and the rich complexity of human emotion — an endless source of reflection and inspiration.

Thank you for visiting this literary corner of my world — where beauty and brokenness meet, and joy is chosen with hope.
