Chapter
As It Is
As It Is opens with a voice that feels both hopeful and honest—someone who has dreamed of a better world but now sees value in the one already here. The speaker reflects on how much easier life might be if people were less greedy, more patient, or more forgiving of each other's flaws. Yet even with those thoughts, there’s no bitterness. Instead, there’s acceptance—a recognition that the world, with all its messiness and contradictions, still offers beauty. It may not be perfect, but it’s deeply…-

The Boy Soldier
The Boy Soldier begins with a warm and familiar scene—an energetic child no older than three, wrapped in laughter and curiosity, engaging in pretend battle with the most accessible “enemy” he knows: his father. In his tiny hands, a beard becomes a rope to pull, buttons become targets to poke, and a watch becomes the prize he proudly claims. These harmless skirmishes are not fought with anger but with love, as the child’s playful assaults are absorbed with joy. The father, although seemingly under…-

Chapter
Curly Locks
Curly Locks opens with a gentle gaze upon a child, so young and untouched by the world, nestled in the safety of early innocence. The poem reflects on what, if anything, such a child could understand of pain, hope, or the quiet ache of growing older. There is no worry on that face—no trace of the burdens that life eventually brings. Instead, the child’s smile suggests a soul still basking in a simpler truth, one not yet colored by regret or complexity. The speaker wonders if this child, so full of…-

Chapter
Growing Down
Growing Down begins with a quiet shift in the narrator’s understanding of what it means to truly live. Where once there was ambition for position, income, and recognition, there now stands something far more genuine—a kite soaring in the wind, laughter shared over spilled marbles, and joy drawn from childish footsteps echoing in the backyard. The narrator, once proud of his adult image, finds himself letting go of the stiffness that comes with it. He sheds the polished shoes and structured schedules,…-

When Mother Sleeps
When Mother Sleeps evokes a quiet reverence for a role so instinctive yet so often overlooked. It begins by painting an image of deep maternal rest, a sleep earned through endless hours of giving and tending. The world may continue to rumble with all its noise—storms outside or clattering indoors—but it does not touch her slumber. In that moment, she is sheltered, perhaps not by walls, but by the peace of knowing her child is safe. Her rest, though, is never complete. It exists only in the space…-

Chapter
The Love of the Game
The Love of the Game begins with a voice that pushes back against a world obsessed with winning, proving, and outdoing. Instead of glorifying success in its usual form—money, fame, or accolades—it leans into a different kind of victory. This victory is quieter, rooted in the joy of effort itself, and in the satisfaction of knowing that something was done wholeheartedly. The speaker notices how often people get lost in comparison. They look at what others have and feel cheated or left behind. But what…-

Introduction to Legends and Lyrics opens with a candid memory from Charles Dickens as he describes an unexpected yet deeply meaningful literary encounter. While managing the editorial duties of Household Words, he came across a poem so sincere and refined that it compelled him to request more from the unknown contributor, Mary Berwick. What he didn't know was that behind the pseudonym stood someone already within his social circle—Adelaide Anne Procter, the daughter of his old friend Barry Cornwall. This…

Chapter
A MARRIAGE
A Marriage begins not with the glow of joy, but with a tone that suggests obligation rather than bliss. The wedding of a farmer’s daughter, instead of bringing laughter and community cheer, becomes a restrained and bittersweet occasion. At the heart of the story lies a simple truth—what society calls a celebration often conceals silent sacrifice. The setting, meant to be the family's chapel, had to be changed at the last moment due to failed permissions, and this inconvenience becomes a metaphor for…-
