A Lyrical Journey Into the Wild Heart of Being Step into a soul-stirring collection of poetry that weaves together the rawness of human emotion and the enduring wisdom of the natural world. This book is a deeply personal, yet universally resonant exploration of love, loss, longing, and the quiet truths found beneath the canopy of trees and within the contours of the Earth. Within these pages, you'll discover: A reverent intimacy with nature, where the land is more than a setting-it is a lover, a teacher, and a mirror to the human soul. Feel the "curves of hills," the "breath of wind," and the "fertility of soil" not as distant metaphors, but as visceral extensions of the heart. Witness the sorrow of environmental destruction through searing lines like "cold iron tines march onward, pushed by black billowing monsters." A sharp critique of modern civilization, capturing the ache of disconnection and the deep yearning to return to a more harmonious way of being. These poems mourn the "paving of coyote trails" and the poisoning of sacred plants-while urging us to remember our place in the web of life. Moments of vulnerable reflection, where love arrives with radiant light, only to vanish into shadow. Journey through solitude, heartbreak, self-reliance, and the quiet revelations that come from listening to wind in the trees and silence in the soul. An organic, flowing poetic style, shifting between bold declarations and stream-of-consciousness reveries. These verses strive to express emotion and experience in their purest forms-bypassing over-analysis in favor of the primal language of feeling and presence. Recurring themes of guidance and awakening, where trees, birds, and even weeds become sacred messengers. Let these poems remind you that "Wisdom Lives in Wilderness," and that sometimes, sitting on a hillside in stillness is the most profound act of knowing. A dissolving of the boundary between self and world, offering a vision of deep interconnectedness. These poems whisper that "higher guides are simply our deeper selves," and encourage us to sense the Earth with every fiber of our being. A heartfelt plea for kindness and reconnection, where gentleness is strength and compassion the ultimate salve. "Love and compassion is the antidote for everything," the poet writes-and these pages bear witness to that truth. This is not a book to simply read-it is one to feel. To sit with. To breathe with. To return to. If you crave poetry that speaks to your soul, awake
