Featured Poems

Where light slows down and every edge softens.

The city forgets its corners, every street poured into gold.

We take the long way home just to stay inside this honey of a moment.

- Asha Mehta

Small devotions that meet the morning.

Steam rising, a private weather forecast: today will be warm.

Open the day like a book you can’t wait to finish.

by William Blake (1794)

From Songs of Experience, a brief hymn to desire’s journey.

Ah Sun-flower! weary of time, Who countest the steps of the Sun; Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller’s journey is done.

The sun writes a warm signature on every window.

Dawn’s quiet permissions.

Steam on the kettle, light at the sill - a small beginning that keeps its promise.

- Noah Reyes

Warmth inside ordinary days

Light we carry for each other

Celebrations of the natural world, from the vastness of forests to the delicate geometry of a leaf.

The heavy gold of late summer, the hum of the cicada, and the bittersweet turn of the light.
