Silver Lining Poems Renee Drummond-brown

Silver Lining Poems, by Reneé Drummond-Brown, symbolizes a mirror reflecting the way others view us in a much different light than we actually see ourselves. Literally, since the beginning of time, 30 pieces of silver is believed to be linked to the shedding of innocent blood, embracing the aged old theory of a silver lining metaphorically pointing to dark shadows with black clouds hovering. This book represents sensitivity, tenderness, and re-birthing an aged old poem by Joseph Parry "Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold." Furthermore, the book adds credence to a 9th century Proverb "Speech is silver, silence is golden."
