oof! "sometimes, a leaf can grow from the twig, but that’s not the poem; that’s actually the moment someone reads and feels the poem." Love so much about this post, thank you for sharing!

I loved this so much! I think I’m also in a season of life where I’m learning that every part of the process is glorious and complete. Especially in regards to my music, which is never “there” in my eyes, maybe it can be time to release control over the end product and allow those little twigs to be observed and appreciated for what they are. Then, maybe, they could grow into something more in the eyes of others

Lovely! Revision is such a complex process; full with opportunities to get lost in the labyrinthine crossroad of intent and meaning.

In my experience, the poem yearning for more is in fact the writer with yet more to say. Revise! And write! You got this.
