Handful of Sand and Other Poems

"Handful of Sand and Other Poems" is a collection of images and feelings that linger in the conscience and refuse to go away. They evoke emotions the author is compelled to share with the reader in understandable language, without obscurity-plainly, deliberately. Whether it's observing an ant, watching a rocker sway to the breeze, or simply taking a train to the city, these poems help to grasp a deeper meaning in seemingly routine actions and incidents. Many insist we evolve from profound life-altering events that lay their mark on us. However, it's the unpretentious, simple occurrences throughout the years that shape who we are; it's the unimpressive handful of sand we overlook that holds a million lives.
