i'm going to spoil the ending for you — it works out.

the storm you’re in? it passes

the weight you’re carrying gets lighter.

the december chill you’re feeling —

in a few months, the days get brighter.

you’ll laugh again without forcing a smile.

peace will find you — maybe not all at once, but in time.

you don’t need a perfect plan to know this truth:

in the end, everything works out for you.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only

Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
