In The Currents of My Ocean, the powerful second installment in the My Ocean Series, poet Merlin Rivera descends into the depths of heartache and rises carrying the first light of healing.
Where the first book lingered in darkness, this one kindles a flame-an intimate testament to love, survival, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.
These poems move through the tender landscapes of mental health, longing, and self-worth. They talk about how painful it is to feel lost and how beautiful it is to find your way back. Page by page, Merlin offers a hand through the dark, reminding us that even at the ocean's lowest point, we are never truly alone.
A lyrical celebration of our scars, our softness, and the beauty that survives within our brokenness-a tribute to the tide that recedes, returns, and carries us home.
