Dreams and Prayers: Verses From a Wandering Mind (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Waken to the world of dreams. Dreams and Prayers is the overflow of a poet's strange and wonderful dreams, most cherished memories, fertile waking imagination, and heartfelt prayers-more than seventy poems in all, most but not all blank verse.

Each of the book's three sections focuses its attention in a different direction:

• Metaphors draws images from nature, literature, history, and more. Darkness falls, except the moon; A silver fog hangs above the ground.
• Memory and Dreams records unforgettable moments, happy years, and strange and wonderful dreams-those that left the dreamer hating to wake up. Fair friend, have I not wed you in my dreams? Draw near to me, as my lids droop towards sleep, And kiss me as I join you in my dream.
• Higher Things turns thoughts above, both in prayers addressed to God, meditation on Scripture, and religious reflection. The book closes with a series of poems based on the "O Antiphons". The wilting fields and thirsty forests prayed, And God heard and relented; rain has come, And filled the earth awhile again with green.

Each poem is paired with a public-domain drawing, woodcut, or illustration.

Take up and read, and explore the images and memories, dreams and prayers.
