children experience the world before they name it.
before explanation. before definition.

there’s a kind of presence there that many of us spend entire lifetimes trying to return to.

poetry is not just what we write. it’s how we move, how we notice, how we stay. a return to presence, where devotion is not practiced, but remembered.

what once felt like this or that becomes both, and.

this is an exploration of the space where two truths can exist at once.

there comes a moment when you realize how much of yourself has been scattered, given, adjusted, and shaped in response to the world around you.
this is the return.
the reclamation of energy, of voice, of inner authority.

the subtle ways early patterning and perceived abandonment become the narratives we carry into adulthood, shaping how we see ourselves and the world.

this isn’t a destination, but a threshold.

a space where life moves like a river, and something within you begins to shift alongside it.
