Above the Mountain: Poems by W. David Smith

These poems are moments with private people and their dreams when life changes.

Five lives open, the last a questioning child who experiences near physical death in the midst of laughing adults, then a manifestation of a death much bigger than his own. The book concludes with the actual demise of a friend in childhood and a glimpse of the humanity behind one person's eyes the life of the vanished friend creates as years pass.
