Subtitled Poetry, “Now and Eternity” is a collection of simplistically produced poems depicting nature’s beauty, time and its passage and love, often expressed in a minimal selection of words. Some, even appear to be somewhat esoterically directed. A few examples:
One Love Morning was asked.
“Morning Do you miss the night?”
Morning’s light Replied
“I’m holding her hand;
Love’s grand.”
Built
Built, The bridge is crossed.
Somewhere
Somewhere In the wind
Your name begins
So Much For Time –
Wherever you are
Whenever then is
Will be now
Summary: This book is the latest of several volumes of poetry created by this well-travelled and apparently well-known individual. They appear to express thoughts based upon his observations of individuals and the intertwining effects of nature and the passage of time has upon their lives and love. For this, and perhaps this reader alone, there is a large degree of disappointment with few memorable ‘takeaways’.
