Life As It Is & Other Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798747854147)

A vibrant, vulnerable collection

she speaks of her life, of death and rebirth
and what it might be like to learn from the earth
of gray, tired thoughts and what it all means
why hearts beat so red and grass grows so green
she writes it all down, to her soul's wild delight
in scribbles and lines 'cross her arms and her thigh
she gathers them all like a squirrel with her seeds
and carefully plants them betwixt all the weeds
poems of love, and hate, and the self
and fictional tales about witches and hell
they all grew to height and took root in this book
to give you, dear reader, a moment to look
inside of a stranger's strange, colorful mind
that spends all its days lost in space, dreams, and time

With flowing rhymes, intoxicating free verse explorations, and vivid imagery, LIFE AS IT IS & OTHER POEMS will take you on a powerful journey through life and loss, depression and self-acceptance, nature and the universe, and everything in between. It will wrap its arms around you and cry with you. It will scream at the world and fight with you. It will teach you to grow wings and fly with you.

It will show you life, as it is.
