The Weathered Heart

Every life is a year, a full turn through the seasons of the self. This collection is an exploration of that constant, internal flux. Feel the slow, heavy burden of a long emotional winter, when growth seems impossible and the light is thin and weak. Watch as the fragile buds of hope push through the reluctant spring mud. These poems give voice to the difficult knowledge that even when the outside world is sunny, your own sky may be dark with an unyielding cumulus of worry. Ultimately, they offer a quiet, defiant truth: we are built to withstand, to adapt, to shed the ice, and to bloom again, because the weather of the heart is never static—it is a condition of endless, resilient change.
