What Stays Lit traces the quiet, fleeting truths of life, love, and self. It lingers in the spaces between intimacy and distance, presence and absence, noticing the small moments that shape who we are. Tender, unflinching, and full of light, it invites readers to pause, feel, and carry their own flame. Through these poems, the ordinary becomes profound, and the overlooked reveals its subtle beauty. Each page is a quiet space to reflect, remember, and recognize the light that remains.
