No rhyme, just rhythm,
A whisper of motion.
A feline spirit, unbound by the sun,
When the house exhales its sleepy breath.
Darkness. A flicker.
Dash! Under the table.
Pause. Scent.
Launch! Up the stairs.
Silent. Landing.
Dive! Beneath the bed.
Scramble. A low rumble.
Kitchen. Quick blur.
Paw. Ghost of a crumb.
Turn. Another corner.
Zip! Disappear.
Then, a quiet return,
A shadow rejoining the dark.
The house exhales its sleepy breath,
A feline spirit, now softly at rest.

After finding peace by allowing her experiences to flow onto paper, Brandi Lynn embraced art and writing as a non-negotiable tool for self-acceptance. As an artist, writer, and literacy specialist, she embodies the quiet beauty of an authentic perspective through her poetry and visual work. She is now sharing her work more widely while actively developing a children’s book and innovative learning kits, hoping to make reading as free and expressive as her art.
