THE MOUNTAIN SPRING AND OTHER POEMS
THE MOUNTAIN SPRING
GO WANDER
LOVE
THE LILIES
TELL PETER
THE SLEET
ANSWERED
ALONE
A gentle chorus of verses invites listeners to pause amid the rush of daily life. The poet moves from a moss‑laden mountain path to the quiet sparkle of a hidden spring, using the natural world as a mirror for deeper spiritual longing. Each stanza is woven with biblical echo, inviting the ear to hear both the rustle of leaves and the whisper of ancient promises.
The collection spans a variety of scenes—roses and lilies that teach humility, the frosty brilliance of early‑year sleet, and reflections on cherished figures like Peter—yet all remain rooted in a tone of hopeful reverence. Simple, melodic language makes the poems easy to follow, while their sincere devotion offers a comforting space for contemplation. Whether heard on a sunrise walk or in a quiet evening, these verses promise a soothing blend of nature’s beauty and timeless faith.
