  • Sailing

    By Kierstyn Chambers | Published: May 2, 2026

    Sailing out into open sea,

    hoping you will follow. 

    Will I sail alone?

    Will I drown for all to see?

    I hope not.

    That could be embarrassing. 

    At least I can say I tried.

    I’ve defied all my roots in stride.

    No anchor or direction now.

    I hope I did this right.

    What do I do here?

    I have no clue.

    Rainy Days

    I’m learning to love rainy days.

    A time that used to bring me fear,

    now the source of peace and safety.
