Sweetie2566 made this book trailer for Earth Song: A Nature Poems Experience, and it does such a wonderful job of conveying the feeling of the anthology! I just love it so much!!!
“The morning sea of silence broke into ripples of bird songs;” …
“What can I do if the star picked me for its lightning?” …
“There lives the dearest freshness deep down things” …
“Places I love come back to me like music. Hush me and heal me when I am very tired.”
