Earthbound Hearts

Earthbound Hearts is a collection of thirty poems spoken through the lives of ground-dwelling animals - creatures who survive not through dominance, but through adaptation, patience, and quiet courage.
A hedgehog learns the cost of vulnerability.
A tortoise walks toward completion without haste.
A mole builds faith beneath unseen soil.
A snake sheds yesterday to continue living.
Each voice carries a human echo.
Moving between stillness and survival, fear and tenderness, these poems explore what it means to live gently in a demanding world - to endure without hardening, to love without certainty, and to remain soft while staying alive.
This is poetry for those who move slowly, feel deeply, and continue anyway.
