One Moment in Time

Poems, Volume IX, 2008–2021

What remains when certainty disappears?

One Moment in Time explores the fragile intersections of love, memory, faith, mortality, history, and the search for meaning in an increasingly uncertain world. Across more than 300 poems arranged in eight thematic movements, the volume reflects on both the extraordinary and the ordinary: enduring partnership, fleeting encounters, political upheaval, spirituality beyond dogma, the companionship of animals, and the quiet beauty hidden within ordinary moments.

Written in free verse ranging from brief lyrical reflections to larger philosophical syllogies — including “Fear Not” and “The World Is Wrong” — the collection combines autobiography with imagination, humor with melancholy, and philosophical inquiry with deeply personal experience.

For readers of reflective contemporary poetry, philosophy, spirituality, and literary free verse, this volume invites a sustained conversation about what it means to be human — finding hope not through permanence, but through fully inhabiting the singular moments that make up a life.
