Editorial Bonjour! Inspiration- this word in itself describes the being of us writers and artists. Some real inspiration can only make us what we are. Welcome to the Issue 5 everyone! I was stunned to see the quality of writing this time. I must say that it keeps getting better with each issue. It’s really all of your support that has brought us to this stage today; our journey keeps getting better and better. You’d be obliged to know that we are now going into print! Just a matter of few months and the magazine would actually be available in hardcopy. Exciting, isn’t it? Well, we also have great news for our young writers and artists here! Miracle e-zine is launching a project for young people. We have some great opportunities for everyone and this wide-ranging project aims at bringing together creative minds from around the world. This is not it, with the magazine going into print we have some exciting adventures for everyone. You will come across some within this issue. Speaking of Issue 5, this issue is filled with exciting interviews. I’m sure you are going to love what we have got for you this time. I think I’m gonna say no more and let you see it for yourself.

Shifting Hexagon -Olga Kolesnikova
I think I’m trapped in a cube Or a triangle Or a hexagon A shape which shifts around me
THE Inspiration ISSUE
Is it me who made the sand melt, Melt into gold beneath my feet? The sky is an orange shade of blue, And it looks at me. I can make the pyramids balance on glass needles Upside down Pick the colour for each one: Always green. Make them spin in the sun. The sand is merging with the heavens Purple sparks at the horizon The sun is going out now Now that I am here. Suspend the grey rocks in the air Dry and burning and trembling They will circle the pyramids slowly As the liquid sand boils below And I am the sun trapped in a shape above, Always watching.
Olga Kolesnikova is an aspiring 17 year old writer. She is currently writing a novel as well as short stories and poetry, and hopes to become a successful full-time writer in the future.
