Once Upon a Moonbeam

About the Book

What are your experiences of life?  In this compilation of poetry written over a span of twenty years, the author takes you on an adventure --- one that is easily relatable to your own.  Her own experience of awakening to joy and bliss, and connection with all of humanity, is expressed through her poems.  We see that we are not all that different as human beings, even though our circumstances may be.

In some ways, we are all still children at heart.  Her words are at times playful and joyous; curious about life and our surroundings; and looking to what makes us who we are.  The poems have a simplicity about them yet allow the reader to experience something beyond the surface and the words.  They allow us to connect with all of mankind.

About the Author

After having what Abraham Maslow terms a “peak experience,” April Morrow was in awe and wonder of the joy and love she felt.  It was beyond definition, and began to be expressed through her in the form of poetry and art.  It was as though she were the vessel through which the expression flowed.

April writes poetry, stories for children, lyrics for songs, and is also an artist.  Having lived in many places, learning from the various perspectives, her writings have a love for the connection we experience.  She discovered that in each of us, there is a child who is free to be, who has a sense of wonder, and who loves to discover and play.

April has two adult children and six grandchildren, and lives in beautiful South Florida.
