71 mostly one-page poems written over a 53 year period starting from when the author was 15 covering a wide range of subjects and experiences that are both unique and universal to most all of us: love, despair, wonderment, youth, aging, humor (some dark) and much more. Here are some poem titles that might attract your further interest: "Sails of Feeling," "Solar Indigestion," "The Aliens Must Be Laughing," "The Matchbox Mind," "Where There Is No Gravity," "I'm 27 and I Just Don't Understand," "20 Years of Desire," "The Awakening," "Merchant of Tears," "Our Eyes Are Oceans," "Just Before Leaving the Corporate World," "The Thing About Luck," "Breath and Poetry," "Canopy of Stars," "Ocean of Souls". I invite you to take a walk with me through that forest of words and images and together seek some light of day even as we sometimes stumble in the dark.
