Motif Magazine

I’m super excited that my work’s been published in the inaugural issue of Motif Magazine. It’s a beautifully designed, thoughtful collection of creativity to savor and delight in. You’ll find a lovely green Tabiji Eggshell and my poem “Sing Us Home” featured on pages 8-9. Download your free copy here.

“Sing Us Home”

Come

with all the ways

home has not been

for you

for me.

One who is

before us

everywhere

even here I

n this hidden space

with open arms

a gentle hello

meets us

gathering us in

tracing a golden touch

along our jagged edges

promising repair

to come

someday

soon

please

breathe color into our emptiness

be near

cradle us

broken eggshells are we

speak new life

into our waiting

let your song of home

settle in

here

now

hum sweet welcome

deep into our bones

nestle our souls

into belonging

as you sing us home

again

again

again.
