Beneath the soft glow of the Pink Moon lies a quiet place of healing, reflection, and renewal. Under the Pink Moon is a lyrical meditation on grief, solitude, aging, and hope—each poem a step through personal seasons of love, loss, and transformation. With the desert landscape as a spiritual companion, these reflections invite readers to sit in silence, find their truth, and embrace the gift of survival. This collection honors the small moments, the unseen emotions, and the power of nature to guide us home.
