A Garden Once Ours: Poems on Love and Time

In A Garden Once Ours, Lora Dickens invites readers into a world both intimate and expansive, a landscape where love and time entwine in all their beauty, fragility, and complexity. These poems move gracefully through the seasons of the heart - from the tender awakenings of first love to the fierce heat of passion, from the shadowed ache of loss to the quiet resilience of renewal. Dickens writes with a lyrical touch, capturing the fleeting moments that define our lives and the lasting impressions they leave on the soul.This collection is an exploration of memory and longing, of how love shapes us and how time teaches us to carry both joy and sorrow with grace. Each poem tends to the delicate threads of human experience: the small miracles of connection, the heartbreak of absence, the enduring power of remembrance, and the gentle art of letting go. In Dickens's hands, grief becomes a teacher, longing becomes a language, and hope emerges not as a grand proclamation but as a quiet, persistent bloom.Whether you have loved deeply, lost painfully, or simply wish to witness the subtle rhythms of the human heart, A Garden Once Ours offers a space to pause, reflect, and find solace. These poems are a celebration of tenderness, a meditation on impermanence, and a testament to the courage it takes to continue loving in the face of change. Lora Dickens reminds us that even when a garden seems abandoned, the seeds of what we once cherished still live, waiting to bloom again.This is a book for anyone who has ever tended their own heart with care, and for those ready to see the quiet, enduring beauty that grows in the spaces left behind.
