An extract from Julia Phoebe Lane’s poetry collection that captivates, illuminates the quiet moments in life, and reflects on a wide range of topics. This collection is sure to have something for everyone as Julia muses on the natural beauty of the world, the serious issues facing us today, and playfully humorous contemplations on everyday experiences.
Here is a short extract of a couple of poems from the collection.
SEEING THE LIGHT
Golden leaves hang by a thread
Filter sun that shines bright and low from a clear blue sky
Autumn dazzles on this glorious morning
And you feel glad to be alive
Here
In this sparkling world
In this shimmering moment
GIVING AWAY OUR FUTURE
We live in a take-away, throw-away society
With fulfilment just a click away
You can even get away
To somewhere far away
And. It. Won’t. Cost. The. Earth
Views from The Edge is available now in paperback.
