    About this ebook

    This book of poems is a product of emotions, empathic emotions, and perceptions that were experienced over a period of years. The poems may well express thoughts and feelings that others may have.

    The poems attempt to address the unanswered mysteries of life. In my case, life must go on and life should be one of hope even in the midst of despair. The following pages attempt to include the concept of hope.

      Exhaling

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha
