There’s a space between holding on and letting go, where the soul drifts freely, caught between memory and hope. That’s where A Soul Adrift by Miranda Leigh lives. The author captures moments when we are most vulnerable and alive through raw, luminous poetry. This is not a book of answers but a journey across the shifting tides of human emotion.
Where Emotions Become Oceans
This collection of poems is an emotional tide pulling you deeper into the hidden corners of the soul. Every verse carries the force of waves crashing, receding, and renewing.
Each piece moves like water—sometimes gentle, sometimes wild—reflecting how we drift through heartache, resilience, and the quiet spaces in between.
Drifting Through Darkness and Light
In poems like Adrift and Lost, Miranda captures the profound loneliness that often follows grief and change:
You lose yourself in your thoughts / Laughter echoes around you / But you remain lost.
Rather than offering a map out of the darkness, she invites us to sit with it. To let the drift be part of the healing. In her world, wandering is a sacred part of remembering who we are.
The Tides of Pain and Power
Pain has a loud, unflinching voice in A Soul Adrift. In Cold, harsh words hit like the force of a winter storm:
Your words are cold and harsh like winter… They cut through my heart which begins to bleed.
But Miranda doesn’t shy away. She transforms pain into a force of revelation, teaching that the wounds we try to hide are often where the deepest truths live.
A Horizon of Hope
Amidst the turmoil, there is light. Poems like Light and Fade whisper of endurance, of a spirit that refuses to be extinguished:
I can feel your soul shine through the shadows and rainbows of everyday life…
Hope in A Soul Adrift isn’t loud—it’s the steady glow that stays even when the storm rages. It reminds us that survival isn’t about avoiding the waves but learning to ride them.
Poetry as Lifeline
Throughout the collection, poetry becomes a lifeline, a way to release, survive, and heal.
Letting it all go / As it flows from my soul…
Miranda’s verses are about opening yourself to the messy, beautiful flow of life and emotion.
In A Soul Adrift, Miranda Leigh reminds us that even when we feel lost, we are still moving forward. Even when we are drifting, we are still alive. Let the poetry carry you home.Visit https://mirandaleighauthor.weebly.com/ to learn more.
