  • let love be the blowing wind

    In let love be the blowing wind, Mari Shiko gathers the trembling beauty of love, loss, and renewal into poems that breathe like prayer and song. Her verses move between worlds — of light and shadow, of longing and serenity — where the human heart meets the divine hush of nature. From rain that “commits suicide on the window” to whispers that “carry wings into the wind,” Mari’s voice is both intimate and cosmic. Each poem unfolds like a petal, revealing tenderness, solitude, and the quiet courage of being alive. This is a book for dreamers, lovers, and seekers — for anyone who believes that poetry, like love, can still move the world.
