Redwood

Divorce, Nature, Sadness, Short Verse 1 Minute 
The enduring redwood is dead
Meant to withstand
Storm and fire and drought 
Heartwood rotted from within 
Disease and neglect 
Claimed their prize
A reminder that
Sometimes good things die

I'm a NorCal mom working tech, raising young children, navigating marriage and divorce, life, work, and the emotions around it all. This blog grew out of my IG account where I share poetry, prose, and other posts that I hope speak to the soul. This blog primarily features my poetic musings and other writing. I hope you find something that speaks to you while you're here.
