My new book of poetry is now available for purchase!
*Me dancing in excitement and vulnerability.*
I realized I needed a particular type of book on healing in my life, so I wrote it for myself and for others who might also be searching.

Sometimes, when things are too much, I sit in the ground and imagine how quiet dew drops feel as they are held by a Ginko leaf.

Hi Marin,
I had the same issue. I just landed on my own website.
Not sure it's a super helpful response, but I wish you luck. π

I am in the back leaning against a tree, the #past aching in my chest.
When I close my eyes, I can see her big smile as her silver curls dance in the California breeze.
Taking a watery breath, I look again at the coffin, a soft powder blue box, like a sleepy sky in morning.

Oak treeβs curling branches
Whip in the winds of this
Granite-walled canyon
Daring to hold
Onto crumbling stone
As the weight of the world
Pulls you down
And yet your leaves grow sturdier
Roots weave here deep
And hope falls
In that weighted world
Feeding the future
Acorns

He wrote βforgive meβ
on the side of a dumpster,
then vanished.
A week later, someone tagged over it-
just a crown,
dripping gold.
I think thatβs what forgiveness is here:
brief,
buried,
but royal
if you catch it
before it fades.

Climb softly,
with creaking ladder
and forgotten words.
Lift the lid slowly;
dreams are skittering creatures, when forgotten
they know which cobwebs
hide them best.
Be still, listen...
the gentle #hum,
resonantes.
Your dreams yet live.
Your dreams survive,
even when you're not ready.

Wind shakes the #beech, whose leaves hush in the warm evening air. Beechnuts pelt the lawn, and critters come #together for the spring feast.

I remember the sky that night, #violet as the sun set past the tree line. A bird, a heronβno it was bright white, an egretβhung lazily in the air before flying away. Cicadas in the trees.
I donβt remember your words as you let go of my hand, nor do I wish to, but I remember the sky.
