Reflections. Memories. Dreams. Devotions. Wishes. Prayers. Plans. Reveries. Delights. Regrets. Inspirations. Aspirations. Anticipations. Separations. Satisfactions. Disappointments. Amusements. Inanities. Losses. Loves. All are untouchable, intangible, but as real and as impactful as a broken limb or a kiss. The universe inside all of us, ever-present as the Earth beneath our feet, surprising as a shooting star, as old as time or as new as dawn. David Rhoades Johnson invokes and evokes the remembered and unremembered-some so dear and firmly planted, others ignored or even drowned, pushed beyond our reach-the actual and the might-have-been, the big and the small. We have all been shaped by them and have shaped them, in ourselves and others. Like another poet named David, his words are simple, his images defined, his messages accessible, universal. We can hold them up to the light and see them in our own shadows.
