Mosaics of Love

By Larry Dickens

This book is a mosaic.
Each piece, a memory, a prayer, a whisper of love, broken and yet whole. Some fragments shine with the brightness of new love, others are darkened by loss, yet together they form a picture only love and faith could hold.
To write these poems has been to gather the scattered pieces of a life: the laughter of lovers, the quiet ache of absence, the strength of family, the fire of faith, and the unanswered questions that linger still.
I have not walked this path alone. The soul of Romanian poet and journalist Mihai Eminescu, with his aching lyricism and cosmic longing, taught me that love is both eternal and elusive, read the epic Celeste & Mahia, Whispers Across Water; his verses echo through mine like distant bells. The Great American poet Robert Bly showed me how to speak from the deep well of the masculine heart, see Winters Grace Falls on What is Gone, to honour grief and mystery without shame. And Edgar Poe, with his shadowed beauty and haunted cadence, read The Bells That Fell Silent in A Sleepers Fable: reminded me that even darkness can be sung into light.
Their voices have shaped my own, guiding me to write not just with ink, but with blood and breath. Here, you will find no straight line, but a journey: from first touch, to dream, to faith, to the long shadows that remain after love has gone. It is a collection of poetry that begins on a journey of self-discovery to freedom in Christ with love at its center holding all the fragments together until completion.
It is my hope that, in these pages, you may find a reflection of your own soul's mosaic, and know, as I have come to know, that nothing is ever truly lost when it is held in love.
