Poetry

To bridge the gap between ourselves and others, and convey the full depth of an emotion, experience, insight or uncertainty seems to be a near-impossible task.

Still, to come close, to articulate some truth, is part of the beauty of poetry and, maybe, all art.

These poems and impressions reflect something of my own journey in seeking deeper truths about myself and the world. I hope you might find some kernel of truth among them.
