The Honey In The Bones: Poems To Rewild The Soul

The debut poetry book by Caroline Mellor

I have known Caroline Mellor’s work and love for words from the Medium platform. Her words are so pure and full of spark, hope, and love.

In her debut poetry book, she talks about emotions, hope, love, relationships, and hope for her children, family, and the entire universe. She is a keen observer who doesn’t hesitate to pen down her emotions when it comes to poetry and prose.

Her book made me smile and gave me hope for a better future and a spark of undying love and caring vibes.

Some of my favorite poems from her book are:

1. Without You

Because I was born from your waters and the first music I ever heard was your heartbeat. Because the essence of you flows through my cells like a river and the memory of your face is etched into my soul the way my heart knows the inside of my chest. Because you were my world, once — my earth, my first beloved home — there can be no me without you and yet now, between us, this great forest.

2. Imbolc

I am the dream of awakening. I am the returning to the light. I am the tough green shoot pushing up through the pave stones, I am the first kiss of sunlight on the unfurling petals of the snowdrop.

3. Before He Wakes

In the hour before he wakes, Before the traffic on the road becomes a river and the starlight falls away into the rush, in a different sky.

4. Gold Dust

For my children

If I could collect all the times you’ve fallen asleep in my arms — not just the times, but the infinitesimal puffs of sparking dust which evaporate into the ether at the exact moment you slip from the waking world into the real of dream — I would have enough gold dust to colour the heavens, enough stars to fill the sky of my love for you.

Please read her book and find comfort within yourself along with her beautiful words.
