Introduction

It's often difficult to pinpoint the exact purpose of a

book. I mean, if I've learned anything over the span of

my short 25 years, is that the older you grow, the simple

answers never seemed to ever measure up to reality, and

life is much more complicated than we wish it to be. So

I guess that's why I wrote For When It's Dark, to shed

light on the darkness, the darkness being everything &

anything that makes life a little more complex than we

want it to be, but I pray that I can help simultaneously

make the complexity life offers a little simpler &

understandable, with the hopes that hope isn't far off,

but next to us, ready to consume us when we take the

time to explore what's kept us from hoping in the first

place. I've structured the book to take you on a journey,

where the opening act explores neccesary pain, the

intermission leaves you a little confused, as is the case

when you first dig into the pain, and the closing scenes

are clarifying & encouragine because when we put in

the work to find our pain, our souls repayus in

dividends as hope revisits our lives again. And there's

much more I could say, but I pray above all things, you

utilize this book of poems as a tool to turn to, when

you're looking for a little glimmer of hope to help you

get to your light at the end of the tunnel.

Because I know you will make it there, we all will, with

the light in front of us for when it's dark.
