Welcome to Words by Amy Michelle

Welcome.

I’m Amy Michelle — a North Carolina poet, storyteller, and quiet observer of the beauty woven through grief, healing, faith, and the natural world.

This space is home to my poetry, spoken word, reflections, photography, and the moments gathered along my journey.

I’m glad you’re here. 🌿

What Survives

she is weathered—

brittle at the edges,

even ugly to some

but to me

she is beautiful

her withered petals

hold the hush of old summers,

hard winds,

and golden evenings

and still

she remains

like a quiet testimony

that some beauty

is found

in what survives
