This slim volume of poetry and photography focuses on major life themes: adoration, music, death and dying, heartbreak, Christian holidays, nature and natural phenomena and spirituality. Brown's free verse is easily accessible to any age group, but more appropriate for young adults and up.
Brown's poems unfold in a nonlinear matter, not being grouped by subject or chronology. This choice demands more of a reader, but lends a feeling of free association to the text. For example, the poem The One Who Will Still Be There, which reads like a prayer to God for the seasons, is followed by Music:
The sound of rain gently striking the fallen leaves Makes you feel you are the only one Hearing the music that softly plays through the rain
Most engaging in this Kansas native's fledgling efforts is her ability to simplify language and bring it to a level that anyone can master and enjoy.
