All summer, he's hidden
his voice, no matter how I begged for
just one song.

Three lines from "Music Box" which, to me, encapsulate the love and anger and longing that siblings can feel for each other, all in the same moment. Families are complicated. 

Words by Winter: Conversations, reflections, and poems about the passages of life. Because it’s rough out there, and we have to help each other through.

Original theme music for our show is by Dylan Perese. Additional music by Kelly Krebs. Artwork by Mark Garry. Today’s poem, Music Box, by Rhett Iseman Trull, is featured here with kind permission of the poet.  I encourage you to check out more of her beautiful work.
