Echoes is a collection of reflections from the heart inspired by life and God's love that whisper of yesterday.
Simple rhyming lines found the smiles heart warming when I left little expressions of love in my children’s lunch boxes or on their pillows at bedtime. Yet the best were those I left for my husband, written from my heart to his, which touched my soul as I watched the love from his heart resolve in a peaceful tear.
Poetry became a way of expressing my innermost thoughts to touch the heart and soul of strangers, as well as those I love. Poetry is the personification of freedom. Thoughts echoed in this poetry epitomize expressions of inspiration. These verses were generated from random thoughts, something someone said, an image portrayed or imagination reflecting feelings to warm the heart and lift the spirit.
Excerpt
SCRAPBOOOK OF THE MIND
Wild flowers adorn a country hillside
Emanating shades of purple and green
Intermingled poppies add accents of gold
And overshadow new buds in between
Pastel colors gleam within a rainbow
Creating a hand-painted watercolor sky
Honeybees swarm feasting on sweet nectar
As passers-by dreamily let out a sigh
Fields of green expand the horizon
Rich in chlorophyll from the warm sun
Ardent admirers decide to linger
Tempted to take off their shoes and run
Tall twin oaks appear majestic in the distance
Offering cool shade after a summer rain
Travelers venture outward stepping into a picture
Wanting to remain, never to leave again
Visions through a rear view mirror
Capture picture-perfect images of a rare find
Eyelids blink at shutter speed
Storing mental pictures in the scrapbook of the mind
