They say some women speak softly because they are afraid— but mine is a quiet made of galaxies, a hush that holds whole worlds without trembling.
When I open my mouth, the moon rises. Not to blind, not to boast, but to light the places no one else has dared to look.
My words glow from the inside out— silver truth, gentle fire, the kind of light that can guide or unveil or heal.
I’ve learned I don’t need volume to shift a sky. I don’t need thunder to move a tide. I carry a calm, ancient brightness that knows exactly how to rise.
So when I speak, the night listens. The dark parts soften. The quiet becomes holy.
For I am the woman who carries the moon in her mouth— and every truth I release is another dawn breaking open.
About The Hand Behind The Phoenix Quill— I’ve lived many lives within one — some born of light, some forged in fire. Each left its mark, and in the ashes, I found my voice. The Phoenix Quill was never just a name; it became my heartbeat — a place where pain turned to purpose, and truth was no longer something to survive, but something to share. I am a poet, artist, advocate, and storyteller — guided by a love that refuses to die quietly. Through words and imagery, I tell stories of resilience, of rising when the world says you’ve fallen too far. My work carries pieces of the people and places that shaped me — veterans, children, the voiceless, the forgotten — and the fire that demanded their stories be heard. Every poem, every painting, every creation under The Phoenix Quill is born from that promise: to turn heartbreak into healing, to honor truth even when it burns, and to remind others that they, too, can rise. This is my life’s work — to give voice to the silence, hope to the weary, and beauty to the broken. Welcome to The Phoenix Quill: Words Born of Fire, Inked in Truth. Where ashes become art — and every word remembers how to rise.
