This book of poetry is a steady and familiar voice as you share her journey through these pages.
Inspiration from the natural world and emotions as forceful and focused as tides, storms, light and loss. All beautifully supplemented and enhanced by wistful and ethereal artwork in black and white illustrations.
A collection you could not tire of reading or dipping into, about misplaced love, broken dreams and heartache while sensing a struggle to be loved, held and reaching for something more.
I liked the concept of a relationship as a flat pack assembly item and the sense of losing someone between yesterday and tomorrow.
I feel each time you pick this book up thoughts will be prompted and memories stirred. Different words or drawings will capture your heart or lift your spirit.
No examples from the work will fully resonate in a review but I share a sample of the tone and melody that makes one's soul sing.
"you loved me quickly,
like footprints in the snow."
"my body is in adeep sleep,
but mt heart still feels the ache
and I'm waiting for a dream
to shake the rest of me awake."
"I spend my days
leaving doors open behind me
hoping there is something you
might want to come back for;
KEYS ON THE TABLE,
RAINCOAT, COFFEE,


ME."
and finally...........................................
"like the sky , i'm always moving.

YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO LEAVE,
BUT YOU NEVER ASKED ME TO STAY."

Words are a precious thing.
When presented in this way they have a magical quality only dreams can offer.
Wake up and enjoy reading: ' it's only words, but words are all i have, to take your heart away.'
