Phases of a Muse

The beauty you see in another was fought for... fight for the beauty in you... Intimate photos accompany this collection of poetry which explores the beauty discovered not only in the dazzling light but also in the grip of the dark. The poems embody what it feels like to be heartbreakingly human and encourage the reader to slow down and linger; understanding the beauty we see in another has so often been fought for within the chaos and the unsettling gray of who we are. And the beauty you see in the world is simply Divinity's prompting to discover it within you. Divided into three sections: The Dark The Gray The Lightthe poems give voice to all parts of us and the hand of grace that extends along the way to guide us in the crest of the light as well as in the trenches of the dark; to emerge as victors in our own story, muses in our own lives... giving others permission to do the same.
