I am deeply overjoyed to share this poem, the first to be published today on MasticadoresUsa. I offer my utmost gratitude to Editor and #1 Amazon Bestseller Author Gabriela Marie Milton for finding my poem worthy of their platform.
The Earth
of my Being
as if is splitting
into parts
yet again
Dry lands
of my emotions
as if fueling
Fires
of my thoughts
Wildfires spreading
no tears raining

Please go here to read the complete poem. It is an honor and a privilege that you would take the time!
Thank You. Thank You. Thank You :)))

I feel so overjoyed to see you listed in there as monthly contributors – you are a positive inspiration for my poetry that seems to go on long breaks after the unrelenting surges in the past that I had gotten used to. It is a heartfelt joy and gratitude that you read this poem and found it exquisite. It was a deep experience to allow it to come to surface. Thank You.

☺️☺️ I feel blessed! I wasn’t sure where the poem was heading, it felt triggering, because I just re-experienced some old issues in a conversation with my brother, but when I reached the last part my heart and mind rejoiced! Yes! This is where I need to be! 🥰😎🌸🌸

I am honored, thank you for sharing with me the timing and the experience of the poem, it means a lot to me. The poem had emerged from a resonating space. I am glad that the conclusion gives way to rejoice. It is so helpful if we are still able to remember in times of trigger, that all the chaos is in the mind and there is more available beyond that.
I appreciate engaging with you on this.
