Omar Khayyám (1048–1122) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and a philosopher who was not known as a poet in his lifetime. Later, a body of quatrains became attached to his name, although not all were his works. These verses lay in obscurity until 1859, when Edward FitzGerald (1809–1883), an English country gentleman, published a free adaptation of this Persian poetry. After its discovery by D. G. Rossetti and others, the verse became extremely popular.

These poems are a reflection of some of the thoughts that crossed my mind in my mid 30s. They changed as I was changing and growing. Some of the poems are an appreciation of beauty, some are an internal dialogue, some are an advice to myself, some have an inherent rhythm and tune to them, you can sing them as songs and dance to their tune, some are stray thoughts and profound truths, capturing eternal wisdom. I enjoyed them and that's the reason I wanted to share with kindred spirits. If your heart resonates with any poem, it is a divine accident.

Divided into seven sections—The Abyss, The Mirror, The Threads, The Bridge, The Echo, The Uncharted, and The Becoming—the collection weaves a narrative of growth and empowerment. Each poem offers a glimpse into the struggle to find meaning amidst chaos and the defiance to rise stronger from the ashes.

These poems are a reflection of some of the thoughts that crossed my mind in my mid 30s. They changed as I was changing and growing. Some of the poems are an appreciation of beauty, some are an internal dialogue, some are an advice to myself, some have an inherent rhythm and tune to them, you can sing them as songs and dance to their tune, some are stray thoughts and profound truths, capturing eternal wisdom. I enjoyed them and that's the reason I wanted to share with kindred spirits. If your heart resonates with any poem, it is a divine accident.

From the golden crunch of fried chicken to the sweet indulgence of homemade cobblers, Brown's words evoke the nostalgia of family gatherings, and the love poured into every dish.

Words are so important in our lives. The words we speak to others, or the words spoken to us are powerful tools that can chart the path we travel. This is true of both positive and negative words. Words can bow us down or lift us up. Our words are a product of our thinking and a consequence of how we see ourselves and how we engage the world around us. This book of poetry is a collection of fourteen poems designed to change our thinking and the words we speak to ourselves and to others. It is my hope that this book of poetry speaks to you in a unique and compelling way.

In this book of poetry, common issues we all must face are brought to the attention of the listener, such as life and death, good and evil, and many other issues.
