In the course of life we are impacted by experiences that evoke feelings that root in us as if planted, leaving seemingly huge questions. Then one day revelation arrives and the lingering questions dissolve. It becomes clear that they are not huge at all.

Love, death, honor, wandering, rediscovery, marriage, closure... these are some of the life impacting elements that shaped and molded this book of poetry. These sonnets are bits and pieces of those life lessons born of those experiences.
