Excerpt
"Keeping Balance on the round orb
is a masterful task
to walk amongst blades of grass
as born free beings
not the shattered decendants
of ancients whose memories
have been lost by the
deceptions of our captors.
New memories make their way
through old ground,
old ground gives way for
all freed beings to walk with
towards horizons rising out
from flame and famine.
Memory survives with a new name
Hope."
Linda Joy Burke
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
