poetry book

 

Donor/author: Sandra Bernard

Nature has an order
And if you surround yourself with it
That order becomes contagious
17 years ago I found my way to the river
If you’re quiet there, you can hear a voice…
And if you listen long enough you will discover…
It’s your own… the one you were missing
This book is that journey
