In my second volume of poetry, I invite you to journey with me through the landscape of our shared humanity. Poetry, to me, is storytelling in its most distilled form—a vessel that captures life’s most meaningful moments and transforms them into bridges between souls.

As I wrote these poems, I found myself revisiting the influential women in my life who shaped my understanding of love, resilience, and compassion. Their spirit flows through these pages as I explore the delicate dance between joy and sorrow, connection and solitude, remembrance and renewal.

In pieces like “Why I Write,” I examine the sacred calling of putting pen to paper—how words become witnesses to our existence. “Soul Mates” delves into the mysterious ways we find and recognize those who complete us, celebrating both the ecstasy and the challenges of profound connection.

My verses serve as both a mirror and window—reflecting your experiences while offering glimpses into new perspectives. I’ve harvested what I believe are the commonalities of human experience: the universal emotions that bind us together across time and circumstance.

When I write, I’m conscious that the pen eventually rests, but the words, etched in ink, become permanent residents in our hearts and memories. This collection is my humble offering to those seeking solace, understanding, or simply a moment of reflection amid life’s beautiful chaos.

Whether you’re navigating love’s complexity, processing loss, or finding wonder in life’s quiet moments, I hope these poems remind you that you’re not alone on your journey. In times of uncertainty, perhaps these words can light your way, heal your wounds, or simply remind you of our shared humanity.

For if poetry has any purpose, it is this: to make us feel less alone in our most human moments.
