    About this ebook

    My poems are written for myself alone. As such, they are now given freely to the world.
    I find that elements of the natural world run through my poetry, and it is in Nature that I am most deeply inspired and connected to the Creator.
    It is my hope that everyone who reads these poems will find many that resonate with them, and express something they feel in a different voice.
    Poetry is the voice of the heart, and runs through all the Arts. Here my little voice may join with all the others, great and small.
    Hold on to the good!

P.S. I really am working on the next books! The Trees Were Spinning is out now, and DRWN Trilogy book 1 will be coming next year. Writing is real work! Almost done with book 1, and then the editing begins...
