Life is a long-winding voyage full of joy, faith, and love. Poet Michael Hickey captures that journey in his newest poetry book, Forever is a Moment. It's the type of poetry that will make you sit back and ponder your own moments in life and how you've lived them.
Hickey's moments include a parent holding a child, an adult remembering playing as a child, and a man looking at the stars and pondering "forever."
"Live in the moment, there is plenty peace here," he urges. "The past is behind us and the future is never clear."
The bigger moment is the human journey, and that journey has its share of heartbreak and sadness as well. But that's not the aim of Forever is a Moment. Hickey strives to make readers aware of their own lives and challenges them to think of the many moments of joy upon which they might not otherwise take the time to reflect.
Spirituality and nature are among the other themes Hickey touches on in Forever is a Moment. The moments it takes to read his poetry will be well spent. It is always good to celebrate the joy in our own lives. Hickey offers us that reminder.
