There is something to be said about the warm days of spring that have been given to me year after year. Surely I am not deserving of such wonderous gifts, the smokey dandelions, the engaging breeze, the still quiet midday universes of exploration. What have I given these days that has them coming back for more? I have been selfish and unaware and I have forgotten what beauty is. I have forgotten what magic is. But I will not forget again. I will embrace each day as if it were my last, and I will always be begging for more.
Sometimes we all forget how truly lucky we are in this world but then somthing or someone takes the time to remind us, this poem is a great nudge to remember this message and I for one thank you for the reminder.

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
