The rustle of dry leaves

This collection moves through the quiet landscapes of memory, family, longing, resilience, nature and everyday life. Its poems find meaning in childhood games, simple meals, passing seasons, unspoken words, difficult choices and fleeting moments of wonder. By turns playful, reflective and tender, they trace the human desire to endure, belong, love and begin again. Like a dry leaf lifted unexpectedly by the wind, each poem discovers movement within stillness and hope within transience reminding us that even ordinary lives contain dreams of flight.
