Mind's End

When forever ends, the heart learns a new language.

You know what it feels like to reach for someone who is no longer there. You have walked the rooms where color has faded, where "I love you" has become more echo than reassurance, where the loose ends of a shared life nag at you like thoughts that never made the to-do list. You remind yourself to honor a love approaching the fifth anniversary of its earthly goodbye, and you wonder: is being lost the same as hiding?

Mind's End is a collection of poems born from grief, aging, and the quiet revolution of learning to walk again at seventy-seven. With candor and tenderness, these pieces explore the fog of memory, the weight of words spoken and unspoken, the slow passage from anger to forgiveness, and the stubborn, luminous will to go on. This is not a book about endings. It is about what remains when the clocks quit ticking and the alarms fall silent: hope, absolution, and the courage to celebrate each dawn like a birthday, candles optional.

Inside these pages, you will find:

• Meditations on loss, faith, and the redemptive power of forgiveness

• Honest reflections on aging, identity, and the grace hidden in ordinary routines

• A tender invitation to loosen your grip, come back alive, and soldier on with more of your heart and soul
