Walk With Me

About the Book

Enticed, I walked along the white sand beach
joining, by consent, a stranger
who was going my way,
as daylight slowly crept into light
and tangled my bare feet
with the sharp sherds of sand and frothy wavelets
which cooled my toes
and carried me away into another world.

Barry Savits appreciates the gifts life has afforded him, and enjoys reflecting on his varied life experiences and perspectives on the world around him.
In a collection of poetry and prose, Savits explores diverse themes that include social justice, the emotions and the possibilities often encountered along life’s path, and the lessons learned as we all attempt to overcome obstacles and challenges and love unconditionally. His vivid writings reflect on an introspective walk on the beach, a kiss tinged with mystery, an alley that lures late-night revelers, a look back at fatherhood, the crumbling of a wall against love and permanent involvement, and a baffled mind. Throughout his collection, Savits encourages others to enjoy the word play, appreciate the Eden in which we dwell, and welcome a world that promises goodwill and harmony.
Walk with Me shares poems and prose that explore one man’s life experiences as he embraces life’s gifts, challenges, joys, and obstacles.
