Visions of Reality

About the Book

Each life is given moments of bliss as well as tranquility that come from just being a part of this vast universe. One knows that in order to exist, each positive must have a negative. Life always balances the scale of joy and ecstasy with the weight of pain and sorrow. The second of three volumes titled Visions of Reality is a mixture of joy and happiness mingled with the pain and sorrows that I conveyed as making life meaningful and rewarding. My visions of what life can be, as opposed to actuality, encourage the reader to maintain hope and assurance in trusting a higher being, God, to comfort and sustain them during the darkest hour. Through the reading of these poems, the reader will gain a quest for understanding love while not rejecting disparity.
