Ashes

Mixed Media on Paper, 15" x 11", 2025

"Burned to embers,

hope nearly gone,

she found a spark

in her own chest.

Not rescued - reborn.

From ruins,

she crafted wings

with trembling hands.

She flew - not away,

but into herself.

Even in shadows,

she carried her light.

Darkness didn't win.

She just needed,

time to remember."
