Diary of a Poet

Volume XV







Solemn Reflections© (2004)



Dearest Reader,

    This wonderful book will keep your mind actively seeking comparisons between your memories and reflections and that of the poets, while easily propelling you back and forth from past to future. Many of the poems within reflect upon events that profoundly affect man's life during the various periods of evolutionary growth. This book is quietly reflective and provides the reader the opportunity to savor some of life's tiny challenges that occur on a daily basis.

What does the newness of today reveal

that has yet to show its face?

And what is there now in my heart to feel

of which memory has no trace?

What brings the Muse of which i could not yen

that has not been scrolled to page?

How can i release the blood of this "pen"

to free the immortal Sage?
