Chapter
When Mother Cooked With Wood
"When Mother Cooked With Wood" conjures more than an old way of preparing meals—it recalls a time when cooking meant more than speed and simplicity. The narrator acknowledges the benefits of modern appliances but doesn't hide their preference for the old rituals of food made over fire. There’s a memory in each crackle of wood and every puff of smoke that wafted from the kitchen. While today's gas or electric stove gets the job done, it cannot recreate the experience of gathering and splitting logs or…-

VERSE: GRIEF
Grief arrives not with warning but with weight, pressing into the life of the narrator like a silent, ancient force. It is not a visitor—it is a presence, both cold and constant, that claims space within the soul. Wherever there is warmth, it steps in to dim the light. Moments of laughter fade under its shadow, and joy becomes brittle, as if it were never meant to stay. The poem presents this emotion not as a passing storm but as a pale sentinel, always nearby, always watching. In every quiet moment, its…-

Two Worlds begins by immersing the reader in a vision of creation unspoiled—a realm where everything sings in harmony with the divine.
