Music, and Other Poems

In this lyrical collection, the poet treats music as a living companion, a gentle guide through sorrow and delight. The opening ode weaves mythic images of a celestial queen who steadies the heart, inviting the listener to feel each line as a soft, unfolding melody. With a tender dedication to his son, the verses balance reverence and childlike wonder, making the work feel both intimate and timeless.

Later poems shift from lullabies that coax the soul to rest, to a hunting song that bursts with energetic brass and sunrise vigor. The rhythm of each piece is crafted to echo the natural world—rivers, forests, and starlit skies—so listeners can travel inward while hearing the external chorus of life. This collection invites anyone who loves the sound of words to settle into a soundscape where every stanza hums like a well‑tuned instrument.
