This book is a collection of poems over a period of time. It reflects the various phases and experiences of mine. Echoes, it is exactly that - echoes of love, loss, despair, inspiration, relationships that were heaven sent and some that became lessons. But most of all, this book is about hope and new beginnings. It’s about the fire that burns within us and shapes us, sometimes a burning flame, sometimes just an ember, but never dies out. With Echoes, I can now truly say, “yes, I am an open book.”, for this is me, in my truest, unmasked form.
