With highest regard for such timeless poets as Dr. Suess, Toni Morrison, T.S. Elliot, Shakespeare, and Anne Sexton, please forget all that you know about poetry and words before reading this collection. These fifty poems, taken from twenty-five years of writing, together form a story of personal growth, meditative thought, and hope for a nation of believers in Love. Inspiration for these works comes from time with nature, metaphysics, observation of human nature, music, sound, darkness and light, and from the unknown. While reading, should the reader find evidence of a quest for freedom and positivity, so be it. If the reader should find answers to questions, then it is accidental. If the reader should find comfort, then let gratitude blossom. If the reader should see in this swarm of words bits of beauty, ugliness, concern, laughter, quietude, chaos, security, passion, faithfulness, focus and distraction, then the reader is truly reading.
