Wish Way Wish Wight In the hush between starlet past Calmness drapes itself over us forgiveness out of bounds-a spell neither of us can break. The world is rocked off its axis We remain wise to its rhythm-reading the pauses, not the noise. Our desires are mocked here Spent are the brokenhearted torn in shattered parts-as cruces become reshaped. This is how love hasn't survived-not intact, not vacant-fallen short of being chosen We lost in somewhere's aftermath of a perfect wonderment. 2025 A SŌLSEED Joint

Quiet Induction

They call it care.
They call it purpose.
They call it collective.
Only later will you
recognize the shape
of a cult—
How it asks you to
set yourself down
piece by piece—
until you are lighter
and easier to lead.

Pathway

Life keeps me in motion—
hands out, eyes forward
when I don’t know the name
of what peace I need.

Some searches are urgent—
hunger sharp and immediate.
Others move quiet in step
drifting beneath the surface
until they shape my path.

What if we let winter break us open instead of hardening us into ice? What if this season of scarcity we made it mean togetherness not hoarding? Keep your heart and soul tender in the frost- let the cold wake you to the warmth you create with presence; the radical act of a joyful noise about what we're willing to give. MS.
