Closer
Just when you thoughtThat you were truly lost,
You find something in the dark.
Something not seen before.
It has no shape, smell or form.
It has no sound, color or taste.
But it does seem to slow
The blind push of your haste.
Oh yes, something good this time.
You are ever so slightly closer
To resolution, power and peace.
You hope against hope it's real.
You have no way of knowing,
But it is truly all that you have.
This moment in time and space
Surrounds your heart with grace.

As a physician and scientist, I have been blessed to arrive at a particular perspective regarding human existence. This perspective leaves me seeing life, and all that surrounds it, as dynamic, wondrous, and luminous. All that is physical represents only a small portion of what defines our world. My hope for my work is that it will capture the essence of what I see and feel. Only after years of astounding life experience as I now feel that I have some ability to offer worthy writings. I lovingly and sincerely hope that my readers agree. I thank you!
