TOUCHING THE SOUL
A collection of poems by R. g. Wallace.

In this deeply personal collection of poems, R.g. Wallace uses simple, expressive language to explore a wide variety of subjects touching the most universal of human experiences — love, loss, war, anguish, joy, laughter, and faith. The simplicity, sincerity, and breadth of this collection brings the power and beauty of poetry to even those new to this genre. 96 pages, 61 poems. Retail price $10.00 plus $2.50 shipping.

"R.g. Wallace offers up his own heart and soul in this beautiful collection of introspective works. A man of few, well-chosen words, each stanza possesses depth of meaning and wastes not a syllable. The poetry in Touching the Soul will have you turning inward and examining your own soul in the candlelight Wallace illumines through his deeply moving and reflective poems. Initially I began to select favorites as I read. Soon it, became apparent that this collection contains not just a select few but many contemplative pieces that will touch readers everywhere.
"I predict that Wallace will become known as a true poet of substance for the 21st century."
— Tina L. Miller, author of When A Woman Prays

"R. g. Wallace demonstrates his gift of verse and his insight on life in this wonderful collection of poems. His effective use of words and varying styles and themes will appeal to all; every reader is sure to find something that reaches into their soul and touches their heart."
— Gary Vaterlaus, national instructor, Sola Scriptura

LIFE AND DEATH

Again

Again — she squealed
Falling through the air
Back to her father’s arms.
The thrill of flying high
Ever kept her coming back
To do it one more time.

Again — she prodded
While resting peaceful
In her mother’s arms.
The voice, so sweet and strong,
Kept her ever asking
For yet another song.

Again — she whispered
While snuggling close
Within her lover’s arms.
The pleasure of such bliss
Kept her ever wanting
Another touch and kiss.

Again — she resolved
While gently holding
The child in her arms.
The beauty of her little son
Made her need and want
To make another one.

Again — she pleaded
Being escorted
To her Father’s arms.
The wondrous life she’d found
Had her humbly begging
For one more look around.

WAR AND PATRIOTISM

Chaplain

He stood upon
The battlefields
Of history.
The memory
Of a million wars
Haunting his solitude,
And the faces
Of a multitude,
Disrupting his reverie.

He looked upon
Forgotten graves
Where men were laid;
Where now displayed
The lost and wasted lives
Of Mankind’s very best;
And there he wept
For Mankind, thus possessed;
And there he prayed.

THE WRITTEN WORD

Reader

To taste of life —
Feed daily on the joys and tears;
The love and strife
Of Mankind’s many years.
To smell the fragrances
Of dreams and fears;
To feel both darkness and the light.

To touch the past —
Peer clearly into heart and mind;
The truths amassed
And carefully refined;
To grasp the images
By pen enshrined,
Traverse the varied ancient paths.

To share the deeds —
Walk humbly with both small and great;
Embrace the needs
Of those who’ve clashed with fate;
To solemnly observe
And meditate,
Secure — as quietly he reads.

FAITH

Still We Sing

They ring
Throughout the years,
The songs of faith
Sung by our Christian peers.
And though the fears and spears
Of persecution’s hate,
Continue to assail,
And oppression’s sword
Will ever bring travail —
Yet still we sing.
