By John Golden

Written by John Golden, this exciting compilation shares an eclectic set of poems, quotations, pictures and inspiring words of wisdom. Profound and thought-provoking, the pieces in this read will motivate those who are seeking for lifes most valuable truths.

Many of the poems share symbolisms that will stir the human mind and allow the spirit to flourish. Rhythmic, the texts will blend into ones subconscious.

Dedication

I would like to thank the Packard family for all the hope and help they have provided me with throughout the years.

To Pamela Rae Packard, Steven Spencer Packard, Amber Marie Packard Seeley, Spencer James Packard, Sarah Elizabeth Packard, Dallin Wade Packard, and Samuel David Packard.

This family has shown so much kindness to me and anyone they encounter. I only hope one day I can have a family even half as amazing as theirs. That would be a dream come true. Each of them in their own way has helped give me insight and skyrocketed my quest to enlightenment. I am eternally grateful to them.

I also have to thank Spencer Smith, Devin Royce, and Josh Haynes. These three people made high school such an adventure for me. We grew together and shared laughs I will never forget.

Chad Champeaux, I have never met anyone who has the will power and determination you have. I see a strong person inside of you who is capable of anything. You have proven by far to be the best running/workout partner and friend.

Sir Adam Boss man, I cannot begin to express how thankful I am for everything you have done for me. Not only have you been a positive influence in my life, but you invited me into your family.

To J. Cartwright and Willow Parker, I must say that your writing talents have helped persuade me to continue growing in my own skill.

To my brother, Jason Golden, you’re the best big brother I could ever have.

And lastly to you, M31, I owe you everything. You’ve help a wild Ficus grow into a forever Spruce.

The Mask Worn by a Boy At Storm

I read your words captivated to the thunderous storm

And even with the lightning lurking upon me,

My mind was further away from fear than a man’s hand is to god.

I heard your words loud,

Loud as bridges falling,

As towers plummeting,

And even worlds crumbling.

The clearness in a relative way so distinct,

Like pistons in my
