Water, Earth and Sky
PRE-ORDER THE BOOK
For the more than 45 years that I have been writing poetry, many poems have been written about nature and the environment and some of them have already appeared in my other books. This book is a compilation of all of those poems.
Excerpt from the poem Dichotomy
Many poems soar over heights of a beautiful bond.
With an insatiable appetite to wordsmith my deepest thoughts,
I sing of a relationship that is innocent, intimate and elegant.
I experience the brilliant light of love’s glory,
celebrate in songs of adoration, passion and commitment.
This transcending seesaw ride of self discovery
is mirrored in voracious fury of my poetic rant,
tasted in tender tranquility of my lyrical chant.
I escape from the aching, dark, dreary, dastardly dungeon
into indebtedness for each and every morning sunrise.
