Born from a Comet's Prayer
There's a flutter in me made of butterfly wings-
It hums when the stars lean close.
I sip moonlight from chipped teacups,
Trade secrets with unicorns who forget they're not gods.
Every time I walk barefoot through clover,
Mother Earth remembers my name.
They say I was born from an exploding nova
That formed ice draped in pink and lavender skies and lullabies.
They say I was born from a comet's prayer,
Draped in teal skies and lullabies,
My laugh stitched with stardust,
My sorrow tucked in a bottle to be thrown back to the sea
Read the rest of the poem Show less
On days when I forget I am magic.
And although I've never seen my reflection clearly
The fairies say I carry the shape of dawn
And the eyes of someone who's danced with a storm and lived to tell it gently.
My mother told me mermaids taught me how to sing,
Goats gave me ambition,
And my father-my father taught me to dance in the galaxies.
So, if you ever find yourself lost between raindrops and radio static,
Listen for the echo of a girl who sips from chipped teacups,
Sings with mermaids,
And dances in galaxies taught by her father's footsteps.
She'll remind you-
Magic isn't something you find.
It's something you remember.
And now they are not gone—
They are lifted.
My mother wears her laughter like wings,
light threaded through her hands,
moving freely through the places
she once only dreamed of.
My father dances where gravity loosens,
his footsteps written in constellations,
teaching galaxies what it means
to move with joy instead of weight.
When the night is especially quiet,
I feel them pass through me—
a flutter,
a hush,
a remembering—
butterfly wings stirring the dark,
as if the sky itself
is breathing me back into myself.
And I know then:
No one I love has ever left.
They have only changed altitudes.

"must be one of the busiest I've ever seen! it rambles over the landscape of imagination like a thing of great urgency. "So, if you ever find yourself lost between raindrops and radio static," My favorite line! ~ Geezer." -

About Me
About me
Julie Evocative Durga is a multi-genre author, poet, musician, singer, and artist whose work exists at the intersection of gothic mythic memoir, confessional poetry, and symbolic autobiography. Spanning memoir, children’s literature, self-help, romance, essays, and philosophical reflection, her creative voice transforms lived experience into layered narrative ritual.
Her writing and music blend personal truth with mythic structure, exploring identity, resilience, grief, and transformation through emotionally charged, symbol-rich storytelling. Many of her works include QR codes linking to curated playlists and original music on Suno, extending each book into an immersive, multi-sensory experience.
Drawing inspiration from celestial symbolism, archetypal mythology, and the sacred textures of everyday life, Julie’s work moves between shadow and illumination—where the personal becomes mythic, and memory becomes narrative spell-work. A Capricorn with a deep engagement in astrology and cosmic imagery, she constructs stories that sit between confession and creation, grounding transcendence in human experience.
Her work has earned international recognition, including advancing through a three-stage global competition to place among the top 100 U.S. writers out of nearly 17,000 participants, ultimately ranking #70 worldwide in Hashtag Kalakar’s global poetry and creative writing competition.
A loving mother, and devoted caregiver to her beloved dog Makwa, she is a mother with nothing to mother but a fur baby, writing from the lived terrain of love, loss, and rebuilding. Her work bears witness to the chaotic, sacred process of becoming—where survival becomes story, and story becomes transformation.
