Traces

Sketches,

Light lines loosely filling in the edges

Of truths we think we see around ourselves,

Rough words penciled in,

Crossed out, changed, and rearranged,

To capture shades of where our wonder delves.

 

We feel out threads of life and loss

And listen to the wisdom they impart.

Do you see them, where they cross –

Traces of a greater truth at heart?

 

I'm excited to share that I've finished putting together a new book of poetry - "Traces of Wonder" is available now on Amazon! It includes the poems I've been sharing here over the past couple of years, as well as others that I haven't shared before. Over the next few weeks, I plan to offer up some details on the book's themes and different sections, but for now I'll share the first poem in the book, which I think provides a brief introduction.
