Shades of Light, Might, Right and Insight!

A poet since childhood encouraged by my dear mother, most poems here span the last decade as my output's become more ambitious with increasingly prolific and complex rhyming naturally occurring. Several poems were inspired by observations in nature. Others emanate from many glass receptacles illuminated with votive candles that I've artistically themed with names, displayed on plant stands, sometimes becoming allegories on or personifications of life. Another influence comes from films, adeptly highlighting prominent themes and poignant roles portrayed in ways that have eloquently personified a wide range of human behavior and interaction enacted displaying real life tragedies and triumphs. As spiritual beings living human lives, we're all challenged with the choices we make via the free will God's granted us and ultimately how those actions align us with either good or evil. And that's the central wellspring of most of my poetry. As an astute societal observer, I'm staunchly a humanitarian individual desiring peace who seeks truth and wants to enrich, inspire and enlighten all who embrace my work which is humbly themed from the heart to serve, uplift and heal greater humanity and our planet which is currently in crisis with much suffering and injustice worldwide.
