Cast Your Eyes Like Riverstones Into the Exquisite Dark by Danny Sherrard
Cast Your Eyes Like Riverstones Into the Exquisite Dark by Danny Sherrard
Danny Sherrard has a way of making the ordinary feel ancient.
In Cast Your Eyes Like Riverstones Into the Exquisite Dark, rivers remember, myths breathe, and the natural world becomes a place of conversation instead of scenery. These poems move through wonder, grief, and imagination with a quiet reverence that invites us to see the world—and ourselves—with fresh eyes.
Read this one slowly. It rewards anyone willing to linger.
Surrendering to the living hand
you cleave the colossus.
Yielding to the river pulverizes you
into a pantheon of prayer.
