ever felt incomplete
crying out for that missing piece
lost to the vast universe, hidden within its umbra?
I have
peace eludes me
slipping through my fingers despite how far I reach
elusive shadows, echoing my desperation

I have a few stories and poems inside me that I want to share. Maybe, if I'm lucky, they'll reach people who'll enjoy them. đ
My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

Peace eludes me, slipping through my fingers, so -intense. Reading around learning about acrostic poetry. Nicely Done!!
I really feel this one, the lose and longing for something (peace) that often feels like it's out of our control! Great work Brin!!
Ooooh, umbra! What a good word!
Good work. If I still led counseling groups, I would use this one.
This was so poignantly beautiful and emotional! Loved your Acrostic!
Another fantastic poem! Wonderful!
You are 2 for 2 Brin! Another beautifully written piece!
Oh, I agree, 'I have' hit so hard and just stopped me for a moment. Geez I felt every line and every word and every letter. I have too.
Mic drop of sorts. That "I have" line really hangs there in the void...just...so evocative and emotive...as ever, Brin...you have an inate ability to dig deep and eloquently express things!
