To Touch The White Unfolded Wings Of Wonder: Poetry By Chuck Rice

It is not years that measure and mark our lives, but moments; the individual events that mold our spirits and shape our destinies. In the course of our lives, like the branches of a broad tree, the situations we climb leave their signature on our hearts not only in that each changes us a little, but that each leaves us a little more sure of ourselves. I believe poems are short stories in the purest sense. These poems are the stand-out moments, the many stories of my life.
