A short yet powerful collection of poems. Falling Skies attempts to capture the electric charge of the hard moments—the ones where we find ourselves falling. When life becomes too much and emotions overtake, suffocating us beneath tsunami waves bigger than a single soul can possibly contain. As we roll through the treachery of love and the primal ache left behind when it goes away—whether due to death, abandonment, or wearing out—we find our hearts filled with hurricanes and floods.

Time, though often a beast, is also our saving grace. In time, the storms always fade. And there we find the end of each journey, a place of recaptured peace.

Some days, the sky falls, yet still we remain.
Heartbeats thunder and fade.
