POEMS OF PEACE AND WAR - SIMPLICITY.
A WORLD REPUBLIC IS ARISING.
THE BIRTH OF THE FLOWERS. (A Reverie On Creation.)
THE GUARD AND GLORY OF THE WORLD. (Fair Columbia.)
IN THE FIRELIGHT.
THE BUGLE CALL.
LIFE’S FLOWERS.
OH POWERFUL BUT PEACEFUL WEAPON. PRAYER.
AMERICA’S STANDARDS. (To the Flag and Cross We Cling.)
MORNING OF LIFE.
Within this lyrical anthology, verses wander from tranquil celebrations of sunrise over blooming fields to stirring calls for justice and unity. The poet weaves together simple yet resonant language that honors both the quiet moments of firelight and the grand sweep of a world yearning for peace. Themes of faith, democracy, and the natural world intertwine, offering listeners a meditative pause amid the clamor of history.
Listeners will find a comforting rhythm in poems that echo the crackle of a hearth, the fanfare of a bugle, and the hush of a prayer. Each piece invites reflection on personal and collective aspirations, whether through vivid images of Columbia’s shores or the fleeting beauty of a single flower. The collection’s modest cadence and heartfelt sincerity make it an uplifting companion for quiet evenings or moments of contemplation.
