In this poetry collection, readers discover introspective poems exploring romance, desire, existence, and nature. The speaker asks questions like, “Do you reach and miss me?” and “Do you miss me?” In other poems, the desire to write fuels the speaker’s life as they take “a break from carrying the burden of thoughts.” Additional pieces explore the necessity of expressing one’s emotions as a means of not remaining “caged by hidden steel.” Rejuvenation in a world of stressfulness, wearing, and tearing also appears as the speaker turns to nature as a healing force. The poems offer reminders that life’s sailing is never smooth, but hope might be found in another person. In fact, passion for another is a common theme in the collection. For example, in one poem the speaker makes a promise to “pull the covers / to reveal the cluster of stars / all in the name of you.”
