Letters I Never Knew How To Send
To the little girl I used to be, / Maybe every version of us left little letters behind. / Maybe they sat quietly in journal pages, in prayers whispered into bedroom ceilings, in songs that hurt too much, or in thoughts we never said out loud.

Finding Joy
We all fall down a time or two, but recovery is up to you Pick yourself back up again surround yourself with family and friends Tell yourself that it is okay to not let anyone get in your way do what's right between you and you There's nothing more important to do Take the time to enjoy the things that bring you joy and makes you sing Go for long walks in the morning Experience nature and everything with glory Enjoy the peace of the night take in the sky's and the starlight Make a wish on one shining bright dance and twirl in the moonlight Take a drive to afar away place where nothing exists but you and space then put a smile upon your face that contentment can't be replaced Enjoy the beauty of every day allow yourself just float away Take a trip inside your mind to a less stressful time and I think that you will find much needed joy in that time

She floats beneath the moon’s soft-petaled light, / A hush upon her brow, serene and wide— / As if the stars had kissed her soul at night

I don’t walk toward death. / I walk toward my fellas' needs, / Toward the kids in their beds,

The Day the Mountains Moved

Palimpsest with Fire-Bombing Teeth
He finds her work the way a cut finds salt— / by accident, by hunger, by the old compass that turns toward ache. / He sits with the pixeled book open like a door blown inland by weather,

Where the Faerie Fell
In a wood where heather grows high and wide, / And the moon on the bracken makes silver tide, / A mortal walked where none dare stray—

We lay back on stone-cool earth in the Góry Świętokrzyskie, / July breathing spruce and flint. / The Milky Way—Trail of the Ancestors—
