Scrambled Eggs on Paper

Book Cover & Preview Text
You just made it through breakfast.
You may find these words to be singing a familiar,
comfortable tune.
These words may trigger your
empowerment,
light the fuse inside the battle you so desperately wish to
avoid in your mind.
These words may possibly act as
a missing puzzle piece
that was under the box this whole time,
and, for at least a moment,
have you feel whole again.
Some pages may be flipped without ever being read,
or folded against at the corner of the page,
without highlight, underlining, or showing your friend
and that’s
okay.
These words
serve
to encourage you to dig deeper
No, I don’t mean to play with your food.
(Though who would I be to tell you what to do?)
I don’t write to please or manipulate your emotions:
I encourage you to take a moment to
truly taste
and experience those words
So, grab a plate,
in hopes that my words
will satisfy your hungry mind.

About the Book
That’s the grand thing about the mind
and how we process things,
there’s an infinite possibility of thoughts and conclusions.
Scrambled eggs are forgiving,
like poetry.
Aspentera understands that healing is never linear and that we owe ourselves forgiveness, even when it seems impossible.
In a debut collection of poems, Aspentera shares reflections that address trauma, love, the overwhelming intensity that accompanies having a soul mate, and the exhausting focus to recover after heartbreak. While candidly exploring the emotions that can accompany varied life experiences, Aspentera reminds all of us that words can become the missing puzzle pieces that put our lives back together again, that healing eventually comes with time, mindfulness, and self-love, and that new dreams are always waiting in the wings to transform our lives once again.
Scrambled Eggs on Paper is a volume of free verse that reflects on a young woman’s journey through life, love, heartache, forgiveness, and healing.
