This volume of my thoughts explores the physical & metaphysical realms of Self & Cosmos, as a human entity continues ever-onward towards the edifying search for Truth & Salvation.

This is a slim volume of my Judeo-Christian-dedicated poems, penned in undying reverence towards God Almighty for granting us a likeness made in His image, that we may thus manifest both inwardly & outwardly, His magnificence through the impartation of His Holy Spirit. We hold the highest honour in being bestowed this status on earth and we quickly forget. May His light in us, His children & disciples, continue to shine forth even through the vagaries of our own humanity & through the dark, oppressive void and principalities of this world. Truly, any victory & glory we might obtain on this earth belongs to the Triune God. In Jesus' holy & sovereign name, I thus dedicate this collection of verse. Amen.
