In the crazy busyness of book releases, approaching finals, and summer plans, I have taken a brief pause to write something new. Poetry is always my go-to form of writing when I have creative busts (and the rare occasion I actually have some free time). So for tonight, I wrote a free-verse style poem that I am titling "Embers". While my poetry is often personal, I wanted to capture my heart in this one, as I hope to place this one in Dauntless!
Speaking of Dauntless, I am hoping for a mid-summer release. It won't take me very long to publish, as all of the content is basically finished. I hope it will be sooner then later, because I'm very excited to release it with you all! For now, I will leave you all with "Embers", enjoy!
"Embers"
Do you remember sitting beneath a crimson sky?
Like arrows, the birds flitted through the air with a certain
Sense of freedom, I longed to fly unhindered with them.
To be loosed from the captivating tethers of gravity.
Was it wrong, to wish that I could leave this world behind?
Not to die, but to spread hope as if it were wings, and
Shake off the crippling chains of dull mediocrity.
Could it be possible to see the world through new eyes?
I had always been a loner, my mind was too vast
To be understood, my heart full of thunder and storm.
Hope, like feathers, spread despite doubt’s decay,
Have I always felt so fierce, even when so alone?
The sun’s setting grace has faded to tranquil night, and
Here I sit, in solitary reflection as the stars gleam above.
Perhaps one day, someone will stop and see the light
That hides in plain sight behind my electrified heart.
