The Miracle, and Other Poems

The Miracle, and Other Poems by Virna Sheard is an early 20th-century poetry compilation that explores love, nature, and the spiritual aspects of life. Through lyrical verses, Sheard captures emotional experiences tied to being human. From the desperation of Blind Bartimeus seeking hope to the passing beauty found in each season, the poet uses strong images and pleasing sounds to create a sense of longing and appreciation. The collection covers many feelings, like the sweetness of lullabies and the blend of happiness and sadness in everyday life, forming a collection of reflections that prompts readers to consider their own lives and feelings.
