Stepping from Thoughts: Poetic stories for everyone Mark Butler

What of our lives that pass so quickly?What stories have we written?What have we learned?What can we pass on to others?I look at life as a collection of stories; those that I have made myself, others that I've been part of, and those I have witnessed or read about. I ask myself, will the stories to come be as bountiful as those already created? Will the stories to come fill me with emotions like these that I relive through my poetry, taking me deeply to the moment they happened and recapturing original thoughts and feelings, whether of joy or some sadness? Stepping from Thoughts tells my poetic stories of adventures that have pushed and pulled me, thoughts on the trials and tribulations of life, and how I see the world. We all look through our own spectacles so our worldviews naturally and beautifully differ.

Like most people I daydream, but those dreams are pointless if they remain imaginations. Stepping from Thoughts includes wide-ranging inspirational stories that share how some of those dreams have become reality. I hope you enjoy these poetic stories, but I also hope you're out there creating your own.
