"The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words."
- William H. Gass

Look at these words,
soak them up.
Can you feel the pulse of my heart?
It thrums in these pages.

Awake, alive,
lub-dub, lub-dub,
can you hear it?
Can you feel it?

Maybe you can relate,
and your heart thrums with mine.
Perhaps our thoughts will -
within these pages -
somehow intertwine.

I'm definitely not the world's greatest poet - but being good isn't what makes you a poet. Being able to capture thoughts, emotions and beauty with words, that is what makes a poet, so I try.

This is just a little book filled with my heart's whispers and my soul's breaths - exposed for any who would share in my mind's personal musings.

Maybe you will be able to relate, or perhaps you can find some inspiration for yourself. I sincerely hope that you will feel my heart pulse within these pages ♥ and maybe find your own heart in it too.
