The Sunset Collection (All Six Parts)
This six-part collection of poetry tells a story based on two characters in the book series I'm writing. One dies, and each poem describes one of the five stages of grief the other encounters.

The Sunset
I watch the sunset
Its beauty stealing my breath
Leaving an orange glow on its surroundings
Leaving a little hope for the ones who seek it
The ones who succumb to the darkness
The ones craving warmth and beauty

We Rise
There’s grief in the air
But we rise
We rise from the ashes
Standing tall
Tears streaking down our faces
As we stand

The Mirror Lies
You look into the mirror
Disappointed
By what you see
All the flaws stand out like red flags
As you criticize your body
Despising every imperfection

I have taken this path time and time again
But why does this time feel …

Drive
Take me on a drive.
I'll roll the window down,
stick out my hand,
let it
soar through the air,
fly on the speed,
fly on the wind.

The Turn of Leaves
The leaves fall down like routine,
Their colors crisp and brown.
I want to freeze this moment
When November comes around.

Autumn
The fluttering leaves that were once so lush and green and captivating and sang in the breeze,
Now, they are gold,
Wispy flakes nestled in among the reds and oranges,

Time Stands Still
In my heart, I'll turn back the time.
I'll see you again, but not in my dreams
I'll relive each moment when I wished for more
But will something change this time?
