About the Book

The beauty of poetry is its ability to convey concepts that would otherwise be nearly indescribable. Emotions, social circumstances, and the wonders of the natural world are just a few of these concepts the author examines in this-his first book.

In the amalgamation of three sections, the reader will be taken on a journey though the stages of life, the daily challenges of our world and the mysteries of our very own minds. The first section deals with the human condition and the realities of daily life. The second section focuses on love and various other emotions we all experience from one time to another. The third section circumnavigates the concepts of religion and patriotism, as well as other inspirations.

Ultimately, the author believes some things defy simple explanations, and that perhaps poetry is the only language that can truly make sense of it all.
