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
The Weight of Time – by Heather Mirassou

The Weight of Time – by Heather Mirassou


We are born reaching
hands empty but already
shaped
like questions.

We learn the weight of time
by losing what we love -
first toys, then people
then versions of ourselves.

Hunger drives us forward:
for touch, for meaning
for proof
that this brief spark matters.

We build names, stories,
nations, gods,
trying to steady the ground
beneath us.

We hurt each other
by accident or on purpose,
and spend our lives learning
the difference.

Joy arrives unannounced,
a laugh, a morning light,
someone saying our name and
meaning it.
