The story behind the collection

Not everything
needs the lights on.

“With the Lights Out” is a collection of poems that I have been working on for many months to get just right. While the title track is a brand new poem, the collection gets its name from another source: a three-track trilogy called “The Transition of Light.”

These tracks tell a story of the transition from contentment, happiness and security through the spiral to confusion, failure and loss.

With the lights out, who do you see?

The Transition of Light

Three movements.
One descent.

Part IThe Lightest of Times

Part IIThe Darkest of Ages

Part IIIThe Shadows of Years

Listen

Hear the words
come alive.
