Description & Overview

This lyrical collection moves through love, memory, loss, and spiritual longing with a musical tenderness that never loses sight of mortality. From early spring and the promise of renewal to the fading year, the poems trace the passing of beauty, the ache of separation, and the hope that art can preserve what time takes away. A beloved is comforted across distance, a lost melody seems to live on in wind, flowers, and birds, and a silent nun becomes a symbol of purity and imagined grace. The collection also turns inward to the poet's vocation, asking what it means to create, to remember, and to surrender to forces larger than the self. Ruins are softened by nature, childhood choices cast long shadows, and nature itself becomes both mirror and mystery. Alongside meditations on the dead, on faith, and on the hidden life of the soul, these poems offer wistful consolation: even when earthly meetings fail, love, devotion, and song may still endure in memory and in the quiet realm beyond loss. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
