It’s Me

Poetry
Written By Kelcie Saunders

It’s me —
running, running
until there’s no air left.

Gasping, gasping —
but there’s no relief.

A cloud follows —
the future turns bleak.

. . .

Solace dances close,
calling —
never to be reached.

Darkness folds in,
and the rain pours down.

I need a break.
I cannot breathe.

. . .

I stumble,
I crack —

I turn to see who’s chasing —
this figure that never tires,
always within reach.

My heartbeat drums through the storm.
I reach for air that isn’t there.

. . .

I look back —

and it’s me.

I’m a designer, artist, and seeker who believes in the poetry of everyday life. I build brands and websites rooted in intention and elegance — that’s my Worthy Creative side. But beyond business, there’s Her Wild Whispers — my personal sanctuary where I paint, write, and share the soft, soulful fragments of my journey.

For years, I lived in the tension between doing and being. I pushed until I broke, then learned how to listen. Now, I create from a place of gentleness. Here, you’ll find my original art, intimate musings, and digital offerings that invite you to slow down and lean into what’s real.

When I’m not designing or writing, I wander in nature, paint small still lives, read, and ask quiet questions of the world. I’m so glad you’re here — welcome into this evolving space of becoming.
