This is the story of a voyage—a voyage through life’s emotions in their power and glory. We are transported from a place of fear, aching grief, and sorrow, to a place of sweet victory. In this place we will not only live but also soar. We are part of one common force, one precious life force breathed into us: humanity. The purpose of each poem is to resonate with the heart of another. Every soul is in a different place of being and has a unique story to tell. My words are a song, a song of my heart—felt rather than thought into being. My hope is that some part of this poetry may resonate with your heart, and that you may be touched, comforted, encouraged, inspired, or renewed. Passion Through Poetry is a triumph of hope, a reminder that there is light past the darkness, and that joy is waiting for you just around the corner! “This colorful collection of verse is both gracefully written and gorgeously designed. ... A volume that revels in flashes of insight and moments of beauty.” — Kirkus Reviews
