Gateway To Obscurity

Honesty is too often obscured by an inability to communicate as we grow older and harbour secrets from those we love. Depicting raw emotions along with touches of humour, Gateway to Obscurity reveals a personal expression of the human condition. These verses weave images that explore a wide range of difficult subjects, making the book a resource for the soul and a bold statement on the various elements of emotions that we often deny ourselves. Each poem presents a hidden world of triumph and tragedy, without the religious or scientific clutter that is so often present these days. They address issues relevant in today's ever-changing world, bringing to light a new sense of self-awareness. Through candid and economical language, this collection of poetry considers the delicate nature of the human condition and is embellished throughout with real-life experience and observation. Father and Son When life's incidentals come to a screeching halt, burdened by complications, the result of neglected health, miracles of medicine prevent ultimate disaster. However, reckless behaviour necessitates lengthy recovery. Incapacitated by weakness, reduced to an invalid, struggling with adversities taken previously for granted. Minor physical accomplishments account as major achievements, proving that a person's measure is the legacy one leaves behind.
