Children's Poetry Reading at the Wasaga Beach, Ontario Public Library
A big thank-you to the Wasaga Beach Public Library for the opportunity to perform a selection of poems from I Met a Woolly Mammoth, A Horse Is in My House Again, and my third soon-to-be-released children's poetry book. I had a great time with the kids. It's wonderful to have a library that is so supportive of local artists and writers!

“My Undeniable Miracle
I don't know why things happen the way they do—why so much of our lives have been spent in heartache and disappointment. Wrong timing. The wrong people. Unhappy situations. Not being our best and truest selves.
What I do know is that in you, I have finally found all I never dared dream I could deserve or have—the kind of love that is rare. Being known in a way that touches the deepest parts of me. Accepted in a way that blows my mind.
In you, the love I have always desired to give now has a place to call home. I have been a skeptic, but you are my undeniable miracle. The questions don't matter anymore. We have finally found each other, and that is enough.”

“The Ache That Would Not Leave
Behind the hum and routine of daily living, there lay a persistent and wild longing for something she could not easily put into words. It felt like impulsive adventures and watching the sun rise over unfamiliar mountains, or coffee in a street café, set to the background music of a foreign language. It was the smell of the ocean, with dizzying seagulls whirling in a cobalt sky; exotic foods and strange faces, in a city where no one knew her name. She wanted secrets whispered at midnight, and road trips without a map, but most of all, she ached for someone who desired to explore the mysteries that lay sleeping within her. The truly heartbreaking part was that she could feel the remaining days of her life falling away, like leaves from an autumn tree, but still this mysterious person who held the key to unlock her secrets did not arrive; they were missing, and she knew not where to find them.”

gather flowers to crown your head,
hide sunlight in your heart

“When night has fallen so hard
and you just can’t find your way,
follow the sound of my voice
back to the shelter of my arms.
When the cruelty of this world
blinds you to all your beauty,
see yourself through my eyes
and witness your magnificence.
When your heart lies broken
in a thousand shattered pieces,
let me gather all of them up,
and mend them with my love.”
