Silhouettes of Life

About the Book

Silhouettes of Life is a compilation of inspirational and whimsical poems embracing family and friends and life’s experiences. It expresses an appreciation and awareness of life’s ups and downs and a profound belief that there is a certain amount of destiny in our own journey. I am mesmerized spiritually by God’s magical touch when I see magnificent sunrises and sunsets and view the timelessness of the oceans, the majesty of endless mountain terrains, and the glorious palette of colors only our creator could provide. I celebrate all ages recognizing we participate in a universal plan. I believe that deep in our souls, there is goodness in everyone and that love is the most powerful weapon of mankind. With the birth of grandchildren, I became more introspective and reflective of my own legacy and message.

About the Author

I have always had a passion for writing and storytelling. After retiring from a very rewarding career in health care I decided that phase 2 of life would afford me more leisure time for writing. The great novel did not materialize but a flare for translating a more spiritual outlook of life and nature in lyric poetry came very naturally to me.
