Moments in Time is a collection of poetry that captures everyday moments in crystal-clear verse that speaks straight to the soul.
Exploring an array of subjects and themes, these poems observe commonplace events and look for-and find-special gifts within them. Whether it's the discovery, loss, and presence of love and romance; the never-ending mysteries of parenthood; or nature and its effect on man and spirituality, these captivating pieces ebb and flow with razor-sharp insight and elegant beauty.
Titles such as "My Daughter in a Daydream," "Fire Island," "A Moment of Grace," "Diamonds or the Paper Boy," and "Winter" peer deep into the often overlooked details of life and the inner workings of what it means to be alive to reveal a treasure-trove of wisdom, insight, and serenity.
With striking imagery and sublime metaphor, this collection explores the depths of emotion that swirl around the simplicity of life's small episodes. Thought-provoking language digs deep into these commonplace experiences to find the humor, passion, and more importantly, humanity living and thriving within each of them.
