Look ordinary
Don't ask for much
Travel to your edge, then go further
Empty out
Let the moon refill you
Embrace opposites easily
Host travelers without borders, feed them
Listen to the distance in their songs
Nurture the invisible, harbor the young
Send those you've raised out into the world
Digest insults. Reframe and cleanse them
Adopt silence while others speaks all around you
Measure change calmly
Mirror the sky
At times,
Be still.
-Wendy Erd

TieDyeDude This poem was posted on a trail in Homer, AK. I found a video on YouTube where the author's reading of the poem is put to music: https://youtu.be/qT7QMrMputY #poetrymatters 2d

Local Homer, AK poet Wendy Erd has some of her work posted throughout the Bishop's Beach Park trail. A wonderful way to encourage pause and reflection while taking in the beauty of the area.

Loved this collection; includes a powerful series of poems in conversation with Gravity. Her poems of grief and fear of relating to and with her elderly parents were incredibly moving.

“I‘ve never eaten a person but today I might”

this book doesn‘t have any punctuation. It‘s a poetic inner monologue of a lion observing human behavior & navigating their own hunger.
I live for these funky stories! 🌈🐅
