these ever-evolving musings are
my lifeblood and confidants
we are decidedly grateful
to have found you
should we inch
you closer to
beauty
by
way
of words
we will sing
another sonnet
draw another poem
for life is delicious when
it is savored contemplatively
please relax, imbibe and ponder

trade your mobile device for a laptop
or turn your phone 90° for the full
experience. all photography
is personal and exclusive
to penned by alina
unless otherwise
credited.

the
above
photograph
was shot by my
husband, for whom
i am grateful, as it is no
simple feat to support a poet
who resides only in life’s gray areas
forever seeking to unfurl a new shade.
