Yes, the poems help, especially the Emily Dickinson.

Funny story--I shared the Emily with a shop owner today. Her mother passed away just last week. The shop owner (Elizabeth) loved all the references to birds. Apparently, her mother had German measles as a child and her hearing was never quite the same. It is Elizabeth's prayer that her mother is in heaven and able to hear beautiful bird song.
