The beginning purpose of this blog will be to release a few poems from Song of the Pines until its August 1st publication date. I hope they will entice you to support this work I have poured my heart and soul into. However, this book is not merely an economic pursuit.
For me, this is a life spent in nature, searching for wonder, beauty, and truth and writing about what I have seen. I, with all of my heart, believe in the merits of this work and humbly ask you to consider supporting it. Song of the Pines is quite different from anything I have published before. I have dedicated myself to the craft of writing poetry in rhyme and meter in the hope of improving this work. Gone are those youthful poems free and filled with chaos (for the most part). Hopefully, you will find what is in their place is deeper richer and more filled with beauty and truth. While nature is, of course, my frame of reference, this collection of poems, more than any other, that I have released calls the reader to look into Nature and peer at the great reality that lay beyond.
Now for an excerpt form the book:
Summer’s reign now fades away,
Its heat and sun no longer stay,
Sweet autumn comes with auburn glow,
Where vibrant leaves in splendor flow.
Once sweltered ‘neath the summer’s blaze,
We greet the crisp and golden days,
In concord, nature turns the page,
To set her colors on the stage.
Creation’s play takes up its bow,
As hues return, the fields we plow,
In beauty vast, God’s grace is shown,
His providence through seasons known.
Song of the Pines
