Cactus in a Pond

Cactus in a Pond: A Collection of Transformative Free Verse Poetry

In Cactus in a Pond, poet Subham Oshin offers a deeply personal yet universal journey through loss, healing, and self-awakening. Written over eight years, these poems bloom from the cracks of heartbreak, trauma, and rebirth - tracing the soul's metamorphosis from chaos into calm.

With a voice that is both vulnerable and fierce, Oshin explores what it means to be human - to love, to fall apart, and to rise again shimmering with resilience. Each poem is a mirror, reflecting the divine feminine energy that survives within us all - soft yet unyielding, wounded yet wise.

This collection moves like water - from the depths of fear to the surface of forgiveness - revealing that even in a world of broken glass and stormy skies, beauty persists. Cactus in a Pond is not merely poetry; it is testimony, ritual, and resurrection.

For those who have ever stared fear in the face, questioned their becoming, or searched for light within darkness - this book whispers: You are not alone. You were made to bloom, even in the murkiest waters.
