I recently read another collection of poems by this author, which I really enjoyed, so when I found this one I picked it up right away.  The poems in this collection all deal with the individual’s need to find oneself so that life can be experienced at the fullest.  The way I saw it, the message that permeates the poems is that we are all connected to each other and the natural world around us, as well as to the past, present and future of the world.For me, what makes these poems so powerful is the use of simple imagery of rivers, stars, winds, teardrops, ... to create messages that are powerful and eternal.  The language in which the poems are written is simple and strikes at the core of the emotion or state it speaks of. In other words, there is no barrier between the theme of a poem and the way it is conveyed, making for a seamless experience.I know I will read these poems again and again so that the images and peace of mind they bring can stay fresh in my thoughts!
