by Kelli Lage

Hearts nestled in the countryside
awaken and dance to the rhythm of the fiddle.
Rusty and raw.
Yet, polished enough
to steady the parting barn doors.
Rough hums start a fire.
Subtle and soft,
yet the sonnet roars.
Finding a home in the solitude.

She also uses her words to process the valleys she has trudged through in life. Lage states she is here to give readers words that resonate and bring peace.
