A DIVINE POETRY COLLECTION

Bill McDonald weaves a satin ribbon-message of love as “the eternal light that never fades” throughout his book of life’s poetry.  With homeless souls, gurus, and mystical sages as his musses, he orchestrates the rhythm of the sea’s tides and the grace of “waltzing ravens” into his poetic art form.  He metaphorically turns “moths flirting with cremation” and butterflies “in search of rainbows” into rhetorical comments on all of our lives as he reminds us that “all of life is in rhythm with the rain.”

Bill choreographs the flight of owls, ravens, and angels in his verse as he poses existential reflections on religion, relationships, and rebirth.  Combining despair and hope in one breath, he tugs at our heartstrings by telling us that “we will never feel what the rose feels.”  He challenges our thinking by asking, are angels “all around us or do they dwell within?”  And he tickles our funny bones as he wonders, “Do (angels) fly or take the bus?”  Let Bill take you through his “minefield of emotions” as he effectively and persuasively weaves you into “the fabric of (his) heart.”

Discover love, truth, hope, peace, and God through Bill’s poetry as he shows you that “poets have faith and believe in everything.”  Find your own Sacred Eye as you Search for the Divine through the poetry of Bill McDonald.
