How long can love remain present when the beloved is absent? Across a sequence of short, numbered prose poems, voices call, wait, sing and speak across the distances between encounter and separation. Lyrical monologues mingle with intimate addresses, brief dialogues and small narrative scenes, allowing love and longing to emerge through many lives rather than a single central figure. Gardens, homes and village paths become meeting places for the everyday and the spiritual. Lovers and separated partners share the collection with family members, wanderers and working villagers, while the natural world answers human feeling through fields, forests and riverbanks. Recurring images of free and caged birds sharpen the tension between freedom and commitment: closeness may offer belonging, yet it also carries the possibility of farewell and loss. Time passes through waiting, labour, journeys and leave-taking, bringing mortality into even the most immediate expressions of affection. The poems move between ordinary human bonds and spiritual searching without separating one from the other, finding questions of devotion in familiar places and daily acts. Compact yet varied in voice and form, this collection of love poetry holds desire, absence and transience in continual conversation. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
