Poem: Sunken Spirit by Mark Tulin

in the shallow waters

of a family,

there is a sunken

relationship, 

weighed down

by a heavy past

and a capsized

spirit,

a present burdened 

by its history,

fearful of the future

unable to float

to the top.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    A great analogy for family relationships! Sometimes sunken treasures waiting to be found.
