Poetry by Sam Aureli

Close-up of a green fern leaf with detailed leaflets, illuminated against a dark background.

Writing from the quiet edge, where language meets landscape, and the search for meaning walks beside wind, water, and wild things.

Mountains in the distance with a partly cloudy sky and tall grasses in the foreground.

“I am circling around God, around the ancient tower, and I have been circling for a thousand years, and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?”

— Rainer Maria Rilke
