QUATRAIN
THE OLD COUNTRY
A haunting chorus of voices rises from the page, each poem a candle flickering in the dark corners of love, loss, and longing. The first verses give voice to a grieving mother whose prayers echo with raw desperation, while later stanzas drift into a sleepy lullaby whispered beside a low‑burning fire. In these early lines the poet captures the fragile intimacy of childhood and the aching ache of a heart that cannot let go.
The collection then shifts to wistful wanderings through imagined golden days, where fairy‑books and rocking‑horses become symbols of fleeting joy, and to a solemn vigil that wrestles with duty and doubt before dawn breaks. A final, sea‑tossed love story begins with a promise made on distant waves, hinting at the timeless pull between land and water. Together, the pieces form a lyrical tapestry that invites listeners to linger in the spaces between yearning and consolation, hearing the quiet music of ordinary miracles.
