STILL STANDING: Poems of Presence, Weight, and Love That Does Not Move (What Remains Standing) Kindle Edition

Still Standing is a book of poems written from the place where responsibility settles—and does not leave.These poems are not about expression.They are about what is carried.They speak from the position of someone who stands between harm and those who cannot yet defend themselves—absorbing weight, holding silence, and remaining present when nothing can be fixed. Love appears not as sentiment, but as vigilance. Faith appears not as certainty, but as endurance.The language is spare.Nothing is wasted.Silence is allowed to do its work.Rooted in lived experience as a father, husband, and attorney, these poems honor the unseen labor of care: the body as witness, strength as something quiet, and love as something that stays without applause. There is no performance here. No easy resolution. Only presence.This is for readers who understand:strength is usually invisiblelove does not take turnssome truths survive only if they remain heldStill Standing is not about becoming more.It is about remaining whole.
