A collection of poems, haiku and sonnets to stir your mind and soothe your soul. In the following pages of this humble tome I hope to better define the crowded intersections of what I've seen, heard, felt, learned and breathed in through my first forty-six and half years of walking upright on this planet. In the end these are after all just words on a page, but they are my words, reflecting the beauty and the pain I've witnessed and giving some voice to hoping that I never stop dreaming and to dreaming that I never stop hoping.
