Meet the Author.

Hi, I’m Rhonda- poet, storyteller, and believer in quiet courage.

I write stories and poetry shaped by the things I’ve lived and the things I’ve noticed—the quiet truths, the small miracles, the moments that ask to be held. Writing is how I stay rooted in who I am. It’s how I keep my heart open in a world that often asks us to close. It’s how I protect what’s sacred, in myself, and the world.

Why I Write

I write to help us stay human in a world that moves too fast to remember itself. And I write to offer joy, not the kind tied to circumstances, but the kind rooted in spirit, nature, and the light that refuses to go out.

Writing that breathes. Stories that steady. Poetry that sees you.

I am an indie author and poet creating healing poetry that blends lyrical storytelling with lived wisdom- a space where emotional resilience and tenderness meet.

My words invite you to pause, reflect, and rediscover the quiet truths inside your own life.

Welcome to writing that feels like a hand on your shoulder and a lantern in the dark.

I write to connect, not to impress.

 My work transforms moments into meaning-mindful writing shaped with gentle inspiration and poetry that steadies and softens.

I offer truth without harshness and beauty without pretense, inviting you to breathe deeper, feel more clearly, and return to yourself with renewed courage.

Where words find their breath.

Welcome to a quiet corner of the site where my poetry videos come alive through voice, movement, and atmosphere. Each piece is created with intention — a blend of reflective story-telling and mindful content shaped to meet you where you are.  Join me on YouTube at Poet of Joy6189 and @AuthorRhondaParsons.  

A Quiet Offering

Here is a small piece of what’s moving through me now — a moment, a breath, a quiet noticing.

If this poem meets you gently, there are other quiet rooms to wander through.

Where night sky leans close and something in us answers.

The Awakening

Where the night sky leans close and something in us answers.

Van Gogh, you’re amazing with a brush
My soul dances when I look at Starry Night

Bright colors
swirling strokes
beautiful halos of light
make a lasting Impression

Out from our houses we come to
Be
stars in the Heavens of Understanding

Vincent, did you know your oils
wake the sleepwalker;
align earth and axis?

I feel it under my feet
When I look at Starry Night

I am Starry Night

In the Hush Before the First Page

Every book begins long before the first page. This one began in the hush between worlds. Come a little closer, and I’ll show you where it started.
