My name is Heather Mirassou and I come from America’s Oldest Winemaking Family, I have been writing poetry since I was twelve years old. My favorite poet at the time was Leo Buscaglia, who writes about love. I sent him a letter and a few of my poems and he wrote back rewarding me with a signed book of poetry and an inspirational letter. He said I was a NATURAL POET and I should continue writing poetry and learn and practice as much as I could. I will always remember his influence on my writing and my will to follow in his footsteps. The symbolic interpretation of my last name, Mirassou is: > Mirror of the soul >One who reflects within >The watcher of light >A woman who sees truth beneath the surface
Fierce Bloom – by Heather Mirassou

Fierce Bloom – by Heather Mirassou


I was born with the aches 
Of the earth in my bones
A wildflower soul
Breaking through stone
The storms bent my stalk 
But did not destroy 
I swayed, whispered 
And still found joy
My voice once silenced
Now hums like a breeze
Moving through pines
And whispering seas
I write not just words
But the weight of the sky
My pain roots deep
Yet still asks why
There is fire in my chest 
Yet I cradle it soft 
A flame not burning
But lifting aloft
I am a whisper of love
That won't shrink from its name
I plant bare feet root in soil
I am healing in motion
Not needing a plan

    It feels like you’ve laid bare a very profound personal philosophy here.
    Heather, this is a testament to the fact that strength doesn’t always roar; sometimes, it whispers love and persists, simply by planting its feet and moving forward.❤️
