No Longer Water

<p>No Longer Water is a collection of poems welcoming raw emotion regarding the process of aging mindfully into a truer self. Here aging is regarded as a gift rather than a burden. In particular a woman's personal journey from who she once was to who she is now. With growth either physical or mental there are aches and discomforts that hurt to the core. This collection allows the aches to blossom. Discomforts become fuel to grow without outside influence. The speaker is no longer looking outwardly but inwardly. In this journey through poetry there is a momentous shift where the mind body and soul understands both the trials and challenges of maturity along with the rewards. Ultimately life is a gift. The journey is tranquil enlightened and blessed even if the trail is muddy.</p>
