My poems, like all poems, are autobiographical reflections on my life's journey and my response to it. They cover a range of about thirty years, during which time, I married, taught many children to understand and love music, raised a son, cared for loved ones and struggled to find my true identity. The overriding theme of these poems is the search for something transcendental and enduring that can lift the mind and soul beyond the inevitable sorrows of life…the eternal beauty of the infinite universe.
