The Common Ground

Written thoughts are the avenues into the souls of others, connecting points which provide a common ground of similar experiences, feelings, or discussions. In this collection, I hold the mirror up for you to see your own reflection. This is life captured in poetry.

I am painting mental pictures with words of actual moments in time, complete with the thoughts and emotions of that moment. Think of it as a kind of snapshot for you to view and ponder.

The Common Ground is a poetic journal, though not presented as such, comprised of life experiences and encounters at different ages starting from a young girl to mature adulthood.

“I invite you to take your time and explore the human emotions found here: pain, joy, death, love, hate, life. It is my hope and intention that just as in viewing a picture in a gallery, you will be able to observe, absorb and relate to what is presented.

I hope that you will be able to find and draw something of your life’s experience in what has been mine.”

“All life is a revelation
through images and observation.
Discovery can be
through the eyes of another. . .

Present to me your mind as a blank canvas,
and see a portrait of humanity.

Within this composition,
the two of us shall meet
upon the common ground.”
