About this Book: |
|
This book speaks of healing and love. These common subjects when framed as poetry and raised to the surface from the deepest levels, take on new colors and strange, perhaps disturbing shapes. Poetry is a way of expressing emotions and subconscious thoughts that are difficult if not sometimes impossible to express in any other way. It is a very personal form of music and if done well, should sing and touch places long buried within. There should be something mysterious and yet very familiar about good poetry. Feelings and emotions in this genre are both individual and absolutely universal. Words that resonate in one heart often resonate in all hearts.
