The poems in this collection offer a powerful and introspective reflection concerning life, destiny, love, loss and the contradictions within the human condition. The poems eloquently capture the themes of growth, strength, resilience and the cyclical nature of life as witnessed in the phases of the moon and the variation of the seasons. Ultimately, meaning is found in the journey and fulfillment achieved in a destiny marked by love and lose, success and failure, happiness and sorrow, all elements of the human condition that have found their place in this collection of unique poems
