First sentence: Foreword: I have been deeply influenced by my love of words, music and ideas. In this regard, I express spiritual affinity with the poets and writers that I have read, the composers and musicians that I have heard and the artists and creative thinkers that I have met. The vision of these souls surrounds my soul and I have this need to evolve into some constant "One." It is my hope that you enjoy the journey into my words and poetry.
