<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>In the gentle embrace of nature we often find moments that elude our</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>hurried gaze secrets that only the patient observer can truly grasp.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The Arboreal Alchemist: Poetry through Nature's Eyes is a poetry</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>collection that invites readers to slow down to listen closely and to</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>feel deeply the voices of nature. In these verses I seek to personify</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>the elements of the natural world giving voice to the silent wonders</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>that surround us daily.
