HillShadow
The following poems are samples from the book. HillShadow is a poetic response to a journey through the book of I Samuel. Though based on a biblical text, this collection of poems is not intended as an interpretation of the Bible, or even as religious literature. Some of the poems take on the voice of a character in the passage; some have the voice of a narrator unearthing wisdom from the passage; some are fictional; and some of the poems are my own voice expressing something I’ve seen or experienced that is connected to a person, event, or feeling in the text.
Poetry
Time is measured by the peaks;
the backlit sun all at once speaks.
But here our plodding, muddled wills
live in the shadow of the hills.
