Lessons & Illusions: a collection of poetry

There are the facts of this life experience: We are born, we touch others we are touched we are broken we are healed we die From these raw materials we create the stories of our life. We are the authors of our existance, choosing to tell stories of tragedy and pain or love and redemption. Like the people in our lives, our stories take on lives of their own, growing and changing over time. An incident or accident may change form from the high school bully that torments our days to the cherished teacher who guides our nights.
