Moths, Rust & The Things That Stay (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995869820)

there is fragility
in our tears of sorrow
but there is also beauty
to be found in
the honesty of the
human experience
we are reaching
for tomorrow
searchers of love,
meaning, and hope
within that longing
may we find
the treasures
of heaven
-holly ducarte

Praise for moths, rust & the things that stay:

"Throughout reading these entries, Holly's words, single-line quotes, or poems as a whole made me stop and reflect on various aspects of life, which then often spurned on other related thoughts that then led to beautiful epiphanies. For me, discovering these secrets of life was the ultimate gift of reading this collection."-Stephen McClellan, author of The Space Between Fire and Ashes

"Holly's words will be carried with me as I continue to trudge forward living this human experience, we call life."-Betsy Harlof, author of Not a Picture Perfect Parent

"This collection of thoughtful poetry was moving and spirit-stirring. Many of the pieces resonated with me and lines stuck with me long after I'd finished reading for the day."-Carrie Cotten, author of The Dreamwalker book series

"Holly's words have a way of capturing my attention and calling thoughts out of my own mind. Her ability to mindfully tease apart hopeless situations and find goodness beneath the threads are part of what makes these poems so beautiful to me."-Nix Damon, author of Moira

"During the pandemic I had hoped artists alike would themselves creating pieces that spoke volumes, and Holly's book does just that. This isn't the fluffy, stick your head in the sand sort of hope and faith, it is the gritty, realistic life that is renewed by Jesus and love in a world that's promises fall flat."-Brittany Massey, early reader
