A Sea of Expectations

Poems full of trust in the good in humans, of hope for a world of community and safety, a world that is one big soul - interwoven with a lurking sense of insecurity and guilt. But also about our responsibility to and deep dependence on nature. And about the unending search for the inner essence of love, parting and reunion, want and pain, astounding travels through the landscapes of happiness and longing, infatuation and despair - and the eternal hope fuelled by a belief in love as life’s most powerful energy and driving force.
