"Poems Sown in Reflection" chronicles a poet's journey through love and innocence, the darkness of humankind, the renewal of hope and the triumph of light. Each of these existential stages is visited in the mind and heart of young man's revelations and insights as words take shape and form the written words here."Are we truly free?" "What is freedom?" "How to be free?" are some of the contemplations that are expressed covertly within the lines of these verses. They are answered from the innocence and idealism of a young poet's perspective as he fully engages as a victim and member of this chaotic and yet worthy world. There is the tension of the dialectic, but there is also the ladder to freedom. Perhaps you will find steps on your own ladder here.
