A poem is a space you can spend time in. - Morgan Harper Nichol
Today I share with you a poem and a Free gift to those who write. Otherwise I am keeping it short as the heat is causing me to slow down and be spacious.
The poem is from a new book by Poet Maya C. Popa. This poem was shared by Beth Kempton in her wonderful post about writing poetry. Her post is full of generous resources and being by Beth, exquisitely written.
I put the link below and Beth starts a FREE SUMMER WRITING SANCTUARY 2026 this Monday 17th August.

Todays poem by Maya C.Popa is called Dark Matter from her book ‘If You Love That Lady.
No one knows what it is,
no one you’d count on
knowing has a clue, which is true
mystery, not obfuscation,
a question contending
with the topsoil of time.
Desire’s what’s the matter
with our lives, a sea parting
to reveal another sea.
Its command renews,
swells and beckons:
you’d be a fool not to love
until the last second.
Onwards and upwards,
With Love,
