Riassunto

About Through Pine Shadows

In word play and word music, in narratives and lyrics, formal and free verse, Carol R. Sunde shares real and imaginary experiences and observations. She muses about stumbling and dancing through a life full of lessons, losses, gains; times of exaltation, despair, and in-betweens accompanied by peace or boredom, or many tears or much laughter-an ordinary life as unique as each person's existence.

 

Excerpt from the poem "Dear Ones"

Just be.

Diving ducks will dabble in shallow water.

Kestrels hover and drop straight down

           slipping through the molecules.

Reflected in the eye of the owl,

           is a great rose window of a cathedral.

Loons, known for their haunting wail,

           wail songs that tumble through the air.

 

Try asking:

What wonders are these?

Why is there so much love in them-

          hope, the thing with feathers?
