Poet Bonnie Weiss presents a collection of stories and poems filled with vivid memories halfway between verse and prose. Her words are honest sensitive and profound but also sometimes humorous sometimes deep. The style is lyrical and deceptively simple as she presents the incredible power of love and the pain of loss.In this evocative and entertaining collection Weiss uses colorful images and description. See and hear the bees hummingbirds and ocean. Yet it goes beyond the visceral to the emotional in poems like My Shrine to You:I love you; you gave me your love.And now a whole year without youa lifetime without youwithout the glory of you.Autumn has passed.Winter is here.Its message lies deep within bare treestheir rich sap husbanding energy.I am pregnant with the sap of winter.I gaze at the snow blossoms on the pear treeAnd wonder Will spring arrive for me?Empathize with the pain but find beauty and joy too as you walk the poet'spath to truth and enlightenment.
