Echoes of Reality: Poems about the Drama of Life

Echoes of Reality speaks not so much to the beauty of nature as the agony of the soul. Behind the luscious rose, there's the prickly thorns of reality, like the wisdom revealed in these parabolic poems. Within are poems that tell a story, metaphoric poems, villanelles, and free verse, and a couple of prose poems. Several pieces of W. Cornelson's artwork is included as well.

1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV: No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

We all go through similar trials. This is part of the message I want to convey.
