Abstract
This collection of lyrical poetry traces the shifting contours of an interior life, where each poem moves with the quiet melody of a song. Themes of belonging, disappointment, love, solitude, desire, doubt, and theological wondering weave through the work, forming a landscape that mirrors the mind in its moments of clarity and confusion. Written across different places and times, these pieces present themselves as individual snow globes—self-contained worlds that hold brief, suspended moments, offering a crystallized glimpse into an evolving emotional terrain.
