About Me

Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, Canada
I work full time as an advanced care paramedic in Nova Scotia. I am married with three daughters. I have been married to the same beautiful woman for over 21 years and I still live in my hometown, (I haven't found a way out yet! lol!) I am the middle child from a family of eight. I have just recently put my poetry into book format. I first began writing my poetry as a way of self-expression but I have also written it with the intentions of having others read it and hopefully gain understanding through my words. I have always felt out of place, emotionally, spiritually and socially, like I never truly fit in but I am working through this and although at times it is a heavy burden, I don't regret being this way because it has led me to good things and also, it has allowed me to express my self through poetry. I hope that my writing will continue to improve and inspire others to do the same. I am currently working on my second poetry book and I would truly appreciate your support but more importantly I would like to hear any comments from those of you that have read my poems.

Now


What is this thing that we call time and when did it begin,
Will we ever be able to discern or should we just give in.
We could try and search the heavens but we will likely never know,
What time really is and what perpetuates its flow.
Time is but a constant that perhaps may never end,
But can time be reversed, can it alter, can it bend.
There is a space I know that time seems to have no power,
It can’t be measured by a second, a minute or an hour.
It is a rift in the constant, that time refused to allow,
And yet it moves through time and space infinitely known as now.
It’s a moment to be embraced and used to its extent,
Quick we are to learn that’s where all our time is spent.
It has been tagged as the present as some people have mused,
But the true purpose of the now has been mistaken and misused.
So if you find this useful and you wish to free your self from time,
Stay present in the moment and use the now as your prime.
