Publisher's Synopsis
Ideas for writing often come over long and protracted periods of time and through a variety of both good and bad experiences. The pen is picked up or the computer is turned on, and once again ideas begin to flow onto the page or screen. The result is a poem, which in essence is a short story about a point of view; a personal experience or life event lived out by self, others or a combination of both.
Come by invitation into the place of waiting in order that you, the reader, may hear the words of time and eternity.
