Ah, like a luxurious exhaleThe morning sun leaves her hidden bed,And with fiery sandals sets sailUpon uncharted waters of love and dread.We say hello to strangers weve never met,Search the mysterious places behind their eyes ...James Levin embraces all of lifes experiencesboth good and badin his first collection of poetry.
