There are things a person carries for years without ever finding the words by which to express them. A love that changed everything. A faith that held even when all else gave way. A chance meeting that discovered a soulmate. The countless intersections of one's life with those of people who are now gone, or forever changed, or present in ways that could never have been foreseen. Most of all, carried with you, are wounds- wounds that just never seem to heal.
These poems are one man's attempt to finally speak - not only to be heard by others, but to be understood by himself. To look at his own life and the lives of those whom he has encountered with honesty and forgiveness - so that wounds, at last, might heal.
This is a collection of poems about life, love, and healing- and the slow, necessary work of understanding who you have been, what you have been seeking, and Who it is that has been striving to find you, all along.
