POETRY

Here is our gallery of poetry. Some of the work you read may be an original piece or simply a favorite poem of ours.

today i saw myself for the first time
when i dusted off the mirror of my mind
and the woman looking back took my breath away
who was this giant, beautiful, beastling.
this extra-celestial earthling
i touched my face and my reflection
touched the woman of my dreams
all her gorgeous smirking back at me
my knees surrendered themselves to the earth
as i wept and signed at how i'd gone
my whole life being myself but
not seeing myself
spent decades living inside my body
never left it once yet
managed to miss all its miracles
isn't it funny how you can
occupy a space without
ever being in touch with it
how it took so long to
open the eyes of my eye
embrace the heart of my heart
kiss the soles of my swollen feet
and hear them whisper
thank you
thank you
thank you
for noticing

-rupi kaur

You see beauty in the life
of others and the stories
that they tell. And I just
hope you know, as you
listen, you are worthy of
being heard as well.

You love others so well.
You see where Light pours
through. May you know
the same love you give you
are worthy of receiving, too.

-MHN

you do not have to be a fire
for
every mountain blocking you.
you could be a water
and
soft river you way to freedom
too.
