A book titled Inspiring Nature by Lisa R Wynn resonates deeply with us all. At some point in our lives, we have all felt something sharp embedded in our hearts — a reflection of our fragmented souls longing for someone to mend our brokenness.
It depends on your creativity whether you craft beauty from these broken pieces or carry the pain within you always. The author Lisa R Wynn has chosen to move forward and embrace the best option. She channels her emotions into crafting poetry about inspiring nature, allowing her pain to find expression. In her work, Inspiring Nature she portrays the beauty of nature, discovering solace and connection amidst her loss.
The book opens with the poem Softly Spoke of Love, where the flower rose evokes nostalgic memories of the author. In the first line, the author encounters the rose, reminding her of a face that once loved her, and now that face exists in memories only. This sentiment is profoundly relatable; when we’ve lost someone, anything—a scent, a situation—can transport us back to the past.
The communication between the author and this beautiful flower explores the feelings of love and nostalgia, reminding us how some random things can evoke memories of shared affection. Lisa R Wynn feels the affection she once shared with someone and now senses the spirit of those memories surrounding the rose.
In this poem, the author transports us to the past, highlighting the notion that the river’s current is now swallowing a treasured individual we once held dear. The image of the river’s mighty current emphasizes the power and force of time, suggesting that despite efforts to hold onto the person or memories, they are eventually swept away by the relentless march of time.
Lisa R Wynn has beautifully crafted this poem with her poignant gratitude, describing her pain as an overwhelming flood of memories, filled with awe and grief, tears flowing in memory of her loved one. The emotional intensity leads her to collapse onto the riverbank, illustrating how love, after loss, becomes like something stuck in your throat—neither swallow able nor discard able. The author was unable to fully assimilate or let go of the love that remains, despite the pain of loss.
The author shifts our attention toward the natural world surrounding her, unable to escape the atmosphere despite her heartbreak and distress. She noticed a mourning dove, a bird associated with sorrow and mourning, singing a lullaby, providing a sense of solace or comfort during grief.
Lisa R Wynn gazes at the river, beginning her journey of acceptance and understanding through nature’s reflection until she once again encounters the delicate red rose, and all the flashbacks come rushing back!
