Atheists and Empty Spaces

by Michael Thomas

The poems discuss the disconnection with nature, the supernatural, art, and religion that has occurred in the recent past. They suggest that, to some degree, most people are atheists because they do not know what to believe and they fill the empty spaces in their minds and souls with ideas that may do more harm than good. The poems are mostly in traditional verse and mostly tell or retell stories from Biblical, Ancient Greek and Roman, and Western literature sources.

Atheists and Empty Spaces

by Michael Thomas

The poems in Atheists and Empty Spaces explore the quintessential aspect of humanity – the need of having something in which to believe. Modern humanity attempts to fill the empty spaces in the psyche with emotional and psychological sustenance that was once provided by communal connections, religion, and the worship of deities or even nature. These poems explore how, in many ways, people have all become atheists because they no longer know how to connect to natural and supernatural forces, and... more

A Path Without Stones

by Vaughan Douglas Reid

A Path Without Stones explores human emotion through the changing seasons of a forest. From the frost of winter to the waking spring. From the warmth of summer to the sleep of fall. Life is the wonder of life. The discovery of things outside of ourselves. Where rivers flow, lakes lay deep, and trees stand as sentinels. This is a place of comfort for all who seek shelter.

Walking Towards The Noise: Poems for those who feel life's complexities

by John Bowie

Poems for those who feel life's complexities 'Let’s cry, and then smile together. As time’s tides offer up words to shore.
