Poetry

I’ve always believed that poetry is where we meet our truest thoughts — the quiet ones that don’t always find a place in everyday conversation. In this Poetry category, I share moments of reflection, emotion, and curiosity, captured in words when images alone aren’t enough.

If something here resonates with you, I’m grateful. If a line gives you pause, comfort, or clarity, then the poem has done its job. Thank you for taking the time to read and reflect — these words are shared openly, with respect for the stories they may awaken in you.
