    About this ebook

    Journey is the first medley of poems by Eric Overby, who explores the beauty in the pilgrimage of life. He points us toward both the mundanity and the miracle of life, writing about everything from working in his garden to his life with the one he loves. In Journey, you will find him drinking wine as the sun goes down; appreciating the place he comes from; remembering his elders; falling in love; and attempting to live each moment with contentment all along the way. You may find yourself doing the same.

      I once lived in a yellow little house. Each morning, birds convened and sang at my bedroom window. The gate was indigo and inside the garden all kinds of flowers rose to kiss the sunny walls. The yellow nest was filled with cherished books, colourful
