Maggie Devers

It’s a magical place
Where you can do anything
And leaving is never easy.

So go slowly now,
The trees whisper through the windows.
Gather those drawings etched with your name
As I taught you so long ago
To offer—a remembering of all to come.

You know this is your path,
Paved with the prints of others
In chalk, paint, sand and sweat
But the quest is yours alone,
And you will find your way.

Submissions are open. If you have a poem you want me to read on the podcast, now’s the time.

I’m looking for the one that lights you up. The one you’re proud of. The one you can’t read without crying. The one that makes you feel something big.

Let’s make space for the one this Fall on One Poem Only.

Deadline is Thursday, July 31.
