this is so beautiful Haley! These lines especially are such a marvel:

"Iā€™m not sure there is human hood without contradiction

To honor perfection is an act of fiction"

I appreciate you creating and sharing this :)

Haley you have such incredible range. From fiction short stories to vignettes to poetry.

This poem was beautiful. Agree with Jen - those lines on contradiction and perfection as perfection hit squarely in the feels.

Loved it (:

A triumvirate, existing as one. I read three times - to be sure I heard each of you. The melody is lovely Haley. šŸ§”

"I wish to be as steadfast as reindeer mossĀ 

That sprouts in even the worst of arctic frost"

I love this - a wish we could all hope for. Thanks for sharing, all 3 sides of you.

You certainly are shining, Haley!
