Kristen Balyeat
Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night– I’m humbly one of the many vessels they use to come to life.

LOVE,, this was captivating!!!
Wow, Kristen!!! What a beautiful, elegant and soul-soothing poem. I absolutely love it!
LOVE!
Beautiful dear
This may be my favorite of all the poems I've ever read of yours. Heck, it may be one of my favorites period. You got to me in all the best of ways with this one. Thank you for writing & sharing this.
Beautiful poem as always 😁.. and I love the message behind the words.. to be more introspective (sometimes poems can be subjective to the reader, but this is that I got from it 😅). We're always searching for answers out there (our purpose etc) when we can sometimes find them within.
So beautiful, Kristin!
a thoughtful and inspiring piece of writing.
Great piece ❤️😉
