Occasionally I write poetry,
to connect with the essence of things.
To give voice to what lies deepest,
the parts of me still unprocessed.
For the first time, I have decided to share some of these poems.
To share more of myself.
To you, the reader.
Simply to cast a glimmer of who I am onto the world.
No more.
No less.
May these words find you where you are,
and carry you where you need to go.
—A. Astriddotter
