This quote from my poem "Skyward Bound"-"No where have I been, but everywhere in my dreams" - is the genesis of this book, evolving within the dream state. The reader may see this work as part of my life story, which is slightly true. The anger, sadness, and regret felt in a difficult relationship is all too familiar to me, and many others. Perhaps a few poems herein will remind people of the importance of forgiveness and hope in salvaging a relationship that gets off to a bad start in the early years.
