A WALK AND IMAGINE
A Poetry Collection

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. Plutarch (c. 46 – 120 AD)

As the artist uses brushes, the poet uses words. The seemingly random poems contained in this collection are connected by a common thread. All of them speak to a part of my life, be it as a writer, a soulmate or a seeker. Together, they create the image of who I am and how I got here. These reflections come to life as a portrait of my life, painted by loving hands with words.
