Publisher's Synopsis
Loose Leaf Words is a journey to the self through quotes, poetry and prose. Contained in these pages are words about longing, looking, losing, leaving, loving and living.
"Today, on this August afternoon, I can feel the whispers of autumn creeping in over my garden. The trees sway and dance in the skies and I am overcome with sweet melancholy. It has been a short summer here.
All at once, it has begun to rain.
As I write these pages, my garden is ignited with a brilliant hue of green as mother nature pours down. I rarely write in such real time, yet this moment is too pure to release.
All at once, the rain has ceased.
I am privileged to live in a land that breeds such distinctive seasons. I could not think of a place I would rather live. Watching the seasons change outside my window is a reminder of life's vicissitudes - I am humbled." - (excerpts from this book)

nature is my favourite poet
looking out my window
I can read her verses every hour
written in the sky
projected on this fading horizon
when I see the fallen branch
upon the ground
universal truths of life
and of death
reveal themselves to me
I am a plagiarist
these words are not my own
they belong to her
nature
my favourite poet
