LOUD

Hey, everybody, it's Jay. I'm really excited to share this piece. I wrote this piece years ago. It's almost almost like a love poem, I guess you could say. I feel like a lot of my pieces have a tendency to kind of be dark and heavy, but I promise that's not me. The sunflowers and the sunshine the that's me. So I feel like this piece kind of taps into the sunshine with a little bit of edginess

Jai. I love this for two reasons. One, I love that you love it. I love when that happens. And two, it just captures the longing, and it captures the joy in that longing, because longing isn't a bad thing. I just think when we speak things out loud, they become their own truths in a different way. They become real and alive in a different way. So poetry does that for our heart. So much so well, right? Thank you so much

You. I just wanted to take a minute to just tell you this piece is beautiful. All the unspoken, like, I love it, I love it, love it, love it. Very deep. Just keep doing what you do, because you're doing it well. Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing this

You. Hey there. Thank you so much. I really, really love this piece and actually just pulling it up and being able to reread it and all of those things really made me feel go back to the place that I was when I wrote it
