As I sit down to write this page introducing the ninth chapter of The Journey, I find myself grateful for the life I've been granted. Time can be a harsh measurement while we're in this physical state stumbling past endeavors meant to help us find ourselves. So I never began to understand events that began this gift I call "The Journey" 13 years ago would lead my life where it is today. I've been literally taught how to mentally explore de...

Upon these pages there are 25 poems from each of my first 4 books of The Journey. There is also a personal thought from me as well as comments given by various writers from different places all over this world. This 5th book marks the end of an amazing climb and the start of a new beginning. Some of the poems in this book have had an impact on the lives of so many people. I personally selected a few of my most favorite poems and the rest were ...

Welcome to the 8th chapter of The Journey.One thing I feel that needs to be mentioned about this book is how after editing these poems, it seemed like I was back at the beginning. While I was reading through this book prepping it for publication, it seemed almost as though I had never read them before.I experienced this same thing while publishing some of my first books. It's like this gift has always been far ahead of where I am. I've been bl...

There are many things about this book that hold a certain significance to me. The number seven is an important factor referred to for centuries by not only philosophers and poets, but also described as a final countdown within pages of the bible also. Another thing about the poems in this book is that I wrote a some of them during the last months of my Mother in laws life. Because of witnessing a few things many would consider miracles, she be...

While preparing this book for final publication, it was amazing reflecting back to the beginning. Writing the poems included in my first book I never really thought much about how effortlessly the words just flowed on their own. And as I move ahead into the second legacy of The Journey, I am in awe of how many people have been affected by my poetry across the world. So I welcome you to come with me and lets enter new levels of thought.

By the time I was creating this 4th chapter of The Journey, my passion turned into a major milestone of my life. The power that is placed into many of these poems was clearly something at times I couldn't explain but, realized by now came from a place deep within my thoughts and levels of this existence. Some of the poems in this book simply rolled out of my hand so quickly that when I would be finished writing, I was actually amazed at some o...

Most the poetry written into the pages of this book were created between 1999 and 2002. Although the first 2 books were already written, something kept telling me it was more important to just keep writing rather than publishing. My writing style was being compared to some of the most recognized poets and prophets in history. So this began a new interpretation of The Journey for me. I felt that the poems had to be crafted with feeling and emot...

Most of the poems within this second chapter of The Journey series were written between 1996-1998. My style and technique as well as my ability to deliver some sort of a message was starting to develop. This would have been the time period when I was first introduced to the Internet and the ability to have readers other than just family and friends. A real audience to see what type of actual reactions do others have towards my thoughts. The co...

I wondered if this 11th book would ever actually be completed. It contains the poems I've written over the last 8 years. It's hard to believe how Bills death became The Journey and how many different lives these poems have touched over the last 23 years. As with all of my books, this one is dedicated to the memory of a few special people. Sadly my Mother passed away in her sleep on July 10th, 2011. The life changing events came afterwards over...

The Journey began a little more than 15 years ago. I was facing confusion of what this life was about and needed some answers. My best friend who I had known for 21 years, committed suicide on November 18, 1993. His death triggered emotions in me that needed somewhere to escape. I began to do that through writing poetry and lyrics. At first it seemed like an outlet but then it became an obsession. I was beginning to feel like I was hearing and...

While preparing this book for publication, I really began to think of just how much The Journey became my purpose. When I first started writing poetry around 15 years ago, I was simply trying to find a way to describe the emotions that were consuming me within at the time. My friend of 22 years committed suicide on Nov 18, 1993. After writing poems afterwards for a couple years, I had decided to create a 100-page book in order to keep a promis...
