It’s a magical place
Where you can do anything
And leaving is never easy.
So go slowly now,
The trees whisper through the windows.
Gather those drawings etched with your name
As I taught you so long ago
To offer—a remembering of all to come.
You know this is your path,
Paved with the prints of others
In chalk, paint, sand and sweat
But the quest is yours alone,
And you will find your way.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice.
We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
