Abstract
Reflections in Moonlight is a poetic journey through motherhood, memory, grief, and personal rebirth told in phases, like the moon itself. Each poem reflects a stage of transformation, from the quiet invisibility of the new moon to the peaceful release of the waning crescent. With honesty and reverence, I explore how the moon’s steady rhythm mirrors the emotional tides of a woman growing, healing, and learning to rest in her own light.
