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.

In the deep waters of the San Juan Isles,
Where ancient spirits dance and smile,
Lives a family of orcas,
majestic and grand,
Protectors of seas,
a noble band.

Their ebony coats glisten under the sun,
In harmonious unity,
their tales spun,
Navigating waves with grace and might,
In this maritime haven,
their kingdom’s light.

Each member unique,
yet bonded strong,
In a pod where belonging’s the song,
Their presence a blessing,
a sight to behold,
A legacy of the waters,
timeless and bold.

Island Guardians, their title well earned,
In the emerald depths where their wisdom is learned,
May their lineage endure,
their legacy stay,
In the heart of these islands,

forever to sway.
