A lyrical odyssey into the human heart, where love, faith, and nature intertwine. Deb Irsik’s debut poetry evokes emotions and takes you on a journey from shadows to sunshine. Explore the bonds of family, the healing power of nature, and discover the divine in the smallest moments of life.
This is a short description of my poetry collection, Sunshine in the Weeds. I am honored that those who have read my manuscript have such beautiful words to describe it.
Since we have had a good amount of snow and winter weather will share a winter poem that appears in the collection.
Winter Clouds
Barren boney-fingered trees
Reach to the heavens
Searching for
Life in winter clouds
Brooding dark filtering light
Holding back the warmth of the sun,
Teasing
With glorious sunrises
Sunsets that dazzle
Waiting for the melting
Season
Heavy with snow or icy rain
Turning the boney fingers
Into a crystal wonderland
Sometimes
Dumping random mounds
Of white, Cossack hats
Accents to counter
Starkness
Winter clouds the canopy
In nature’s rhythm
A time to gather strength
Storing nourishment preparing
Sun
Breaks through the gray quilt
And warms the earth
A peek at the fluff of white
Soon
Light will come with
The thunderheads of
Spring
And
Summer skies
