Un-winged and naked, sorrow surrenders its crown to a throne called grace.

We can cry for years but sometimes gotta smile too.

This rose of pearl-coated infinity transformsthe diseased slums of a broken heartinto a palace made of psalms and gold.

Poetry empowers the simplest of lives to confront the most extreme sorrows with courage, and motivates the mightiest of offices to humbly heed lessons in compassion.
