as the sun touches everything
is a free verse poetry book by Lindsay Spellman. Written during 2020 and the beginning of 2021, these poems follow the seasons of the year as she met and fell in love with her soon-to-be husband and how they experienced long distance during the pandemic.
Accompanied by photographs, these are poems of love, longing, waiting, wondering, and searching for ways to find peace and contentment in the simple moments of life: learning to see the beauty around her and find hope in the present.

Poems from the book
Deep Breathing
The wind helps us to fly,
we sink our feet into the grass.
Grounded,
floating,
dreaming.
We cannot leave
but we wander,
wonder,
what the future holds.
We hold our heads up high
releasing the weights
of time.
Angels
Waiting is a field of snow
that we wish would melt
for the flowers to bloom.
But for now
we’ll lie down
and make a few angels.
