Thought Gatherings

“Thought Gatherings” is a collection of poems and writings to clarify moments for myself.

 

Coerced to write my first poem started a 64-year private means of gathering thoughts and feelings to gain awareness of the present, originally tossed into a box for future reference. Now retired, they opened like little time capsules, most not having been looked at from the time they were written.

 

Early on I was told these thoughts were for more than me, that they belonged to the world. My effort is to capture an experience or thought, the known, and then expose the greater context.
