MINING THE BRIGHT BIRDS-Poems of Longing for Home
The manner in which we chart our lives is less a straight line and more a song cycle moving upward into the future, circles growing closer as we move towards the center, where God is. Ecclesiastes declares we are made for a longing towards Heaven, our true home, and so we journey, often in the dark.
The poems in Mining the Bright Birds reflect this daily walk, one of changing and growth; for the closer we move towards God, the more like ourselves we become.
HEARTS ON PILGRIMAGE-Poems & Prayers
“In this exquisitely sculpted collection of quiet poems that bring comfort, contemplation, and gratitude in difficult times, Collins’ poetry echoes the seasons, from winter’s dormancy and spring’s new life to summer’s exuberant growth and the fall harvest, looking through the lens of a physical world that also mirrors our interior lives. Whether it’s picking autumn raspberries, listening to a violent thunderstorm, witnessing the first flight of a chickadee, or contemplating the memory of an absent father, Collins invites us to slow down and notice the extraordinary everyday moments in our journeys with God and His creation speaking along the way.” From Amazon.
