Lament in a Minor Key

Life and nature often create compositions in a minor key. Upheavals and traumatic events offer dissonance, which eventually resolve in some harmony. This collection reflects some of those minor chords and dissonance but is also threaded through with a slender strand of hope. Each event allows for resolution to more melodic notes. Even nature has a dying before resurrection and in the process can offer beauty and promise. The upheaval of lives in ?Executive Orders? leads eventually to the creation of some order, even in a repressive situation. Other poems mirror responses we have to negative situations, often moving through the varied stages of grief to arrive at some resolution. Nature moves through life stages ? birth, full bloom, aging and death only to be resurrected as the seasons roll around in harmony. This collection of poems attempts to express these journeys as well as movement towards harmony.
