Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth: New Poems by Alice Walker

5.0

A wonderful collection of poems; my favorite being "The Same As Gold".

Now that I
Understand
That grief
Emotionally speaking
Is the same
As Gold
I do not despair
That we are
All of us
Born to grieve

There was a
Small dark
Girl
In my dream
The other night;
She had been
Left with me
By strange women
On their way
Somewhere
Else.

Taking her into
My arms
Into my house
Which had no roof
My tears
Covered us
Like rain
