Beskrivelse
This collection of poems by the Nick LeForce, the Transformational Poet, comes with a warning: Never ask a poet for advice unless you are willing to tolerate ambiguity because a poet speaks in more than meaning, wraps words in rhythms, sounds in sensations; giving you, instead, a message in a bottle tossed in the sea from a distant shore, written in a code you must crack and filled with the fragments of a map that may just lead you to the treasure your heart most desires. (Excerpt from "Message in a Bottle") And it does deliver a map by dividing the poems into four sections-Living, Losing, Learning, and Loving. Although this sequence is not mandatory, it serves as a guide. If we can use our living and losing as a learning to be more loving, then we do have a chance of finding "heaven in our hearts." The title comes from the poem, "Heaven," which celebrates the elevation of oneself that occurs when someone believes in you: Then, you came You believed in me. Your eyes twinkling like stars in the night sky witnessing my dreams. Your smile rising like the morning sun, melting walls and gates and awakening the magic in me. How can I ever give to you what you have given me? I offer what I have with love. I pour the wine of my words into your cup, wanting us to get drunk on life and share the heaven in our hearts.
