Of Dusk and Dawn: The Beautiful Truth

In her debut collection of poetry, journeying through love and loss, hope and despair, the author writes as an empath, reflecting both on her own experiences as well as bleeding and mending for a world that seeks repair. In reading and feeling the rawness of her words, we come to a discovery - it is sometimes in the strangest of times and darkest of places that healing comes - that's the beautiful truth. "don’t let them fool you - stay soft this world will make you think you need to grow daggers but the wings you try to push back into the lapels of your coat are the same wings that hold the earth away from chaos and injustice" "before you go, i want you to know; i cannot love the darkness out of you. but i will wave this light for as long as it takes - until my arms grow tired and even then. i will rub my bones to make fire. i will stay bright for you." "i will stand by you. but when your legs give out beneath the weight and you are face down to the floor, i won't stand by you anymore. i will lay by you. my body next to yours. i will pound my fists and tears into the ground."
