Beauty of the Slow Drip
– A COLLECTION OF POETRY & PROSE –
The death of a loved one changes you.
It changes how you view the world.
It causes a seismic shift.
The world you once knew is different
and forever will be.
Whether you saw it coming or it caught you off guard,
there’s nothing you can do to change the fact—
the death of a loved one changes you.
How it changes you?
That’s up to you.

“In Beauty of the Slow Drip, Angel K. Will offers a heartfelt collection that reads like a conversation with someone who’s lived through hardship and come out stronger. Drawing from deeply personal moments, she crafts poems that explore loss, faith, and emotional resilience with sincerity and warmth. Pieces like “Glimmer of Hope” and “Dry” speak directly to the soul, offering comfort and assurance in the face of doubt, while “Whirlwind” and “The Peace That Transcends” delve into the rawness of emotion and the grounding power of spiritual connection.
What sets this collection apart is its balance—while grief and struggle are ever-present, they are met with unwavering hope. Will doesn’t just share poetry; she invites readers into fragments of her own life, particularly through reflections on her childhood and the enduring bond with her aunt. That blend of memory and verse creates an intimacy that lingers well after the last page. Honest, vulnerable, and ultimately uplifting, Beauty of the Slow Drip is perfect for readers looking for poetry that speaks to the heart and reminds us of the strength found in quiet faith.”

Two Selected Poems from the Book
Foggy Mourn
The fog sitting stale over the rolling hills
after a treacherous rain
mirrors my bleak and muted heart,
still in disbelief that you were taken away.
But hope, buried deep,
knows in time the fog will rise and dissipate;
a day of sunlight will shine once more
though now I sit in my foggy mourn.
My faith clings to God’s promise,
that in due time, hope will resurrect
my heart of sorrow into life once again.
Different
When we lose someone we love
be patient with one another.
Each grieves and processes differently.
No right and no wrong;
just different.
Honor your loved ones
by accepting these differences.
Everyone will grieve in their own way,
and in their own time,
as you do the same.

Remember, you are not alone, AND you will get through.
I came across Phil Wickham’s Album “Hymn of Heaven” six weeks prior to my loss, and it spoke much truth to me at that time and in the season of grief I was about to enter. You can buy it online or listen to the full album here. God always speaks our language. May we have ears to hear.
