These poems gathered to discuss rhythms as urgent and Earthly as rain, as heartbeat, as ripening fruit. Rhymes of waves within tides within lifetimes. They weave a rope from place, time, and emotion. Because everyone, sooner or later, needs

something to hold on to.

"Inspired and inspirational verse...Highly recommended!"

-Dr. Maja Trochimczyk, President of California State Poetry Society, President of Moonrise Press, and author

"With astounding wordcraft and an unceasing sense of wonder, these poems take us on a journey that spans the planet, and the heart...This is a book to put in your backpack, or keep under your pillow. These are poems to devour slowly, on a train heading into new and mysterious lands."

-Wess Mongo Jolley, author and editor

"The coherent love of synched sounds and related themes ties together the variety of density and light-like walking through forest, into meadow, and back-in ways that can keep contemplation and delight alive as you go."

-Don Freas, poet, designer/craftsman, sculptor
