Hey, I’m Marla May.

The beloved American poet, Emily Dickinson wrote this line: “I am out with lanterns, looking for myself.”

I hold on to those I love on the shifting sands of a collapsing past.

Taking care of every second, the hours will take care of themselves.

Since we are here without knowing
What awaits us a little later
Letting my instinct speak heals me.

Since all this is too short
I will love it until my last day
Until my last breath of life.

What will come?
How far I'll go, I don't know.
Without thinking about tomorrow.

I write my path. If I get lost, it means I have already found myself. And I know I must continue.
