Traditional poetry is an ancient art with the power to draw one inward and heal their emotions. "Song Of The Sea" was inspired by "The Rubáiyát" by Persian poet, Omar Khayyam (1048-1131). His renowned book is written in quatrains, a verse containing four lines, particularly lines that alternately rhyme. Khayyam's verses have always fascinated me for the way each four line stanza brings one to a deep spiritual state. "Song Of The Sea" is written in quatrains with the quest of evoking a parallel in time by channeling the power of the past in present day. These verses have a meditative quality which is beneficial to read aloud or silently to oneself. The beauty of this formula is the way each stanza relates to the spirit of the reader and becomes unique to their life experiences. It is a journey inward to uncharted territories of the soul. Whether you live near the beach or faraway I hope "Song Of The Sea" will beckon you with the ocean's timeless beauty and solace."Song Of The Sea" by Jody R. LaGreca will move your soul after reading. Move it deeply, stirring it for several hours and days after reading this beautifully written collection. Highly, highly recommended."--Michael McCarty, Author, Bram Stoker Finalist for Poetry Bookco-written with Mark McLaughlin (Bram Stoker Winner) • Author: Jody R.
