The Wells of Life
Selected Poems by David Cole
David Cole's poetry conveys deep emotions through the observation of day to day occurences of life's journey, stirring memories in us all. Pictures of childhood - times of innocence, of skimming boats and dragon hunts, of lazy days exploring the beaches of his beloved Wales - contrast with the sadness and loss created by a world in which the grown man struggles for his freedom.
The beauty of God's earth is punctuated by early memories of his native Wales during the Thirties and Forties, the deep despairing emotion of death - and the joy and hope promised by new life.
