@SarahthePoetess I hope you had a lovely birthday, Sarah. Your photographs are wonderful. Your spreads always make me feel warm and fuzzy. Birthdays are a good time to tell someone how much they are seen and appreciated - and you are. May your special wish come true.
Poetry is language behaving fearlessly in pursuit of emotional truth. Sometimes this is a matter of saying plainly what is difficult to muster.
