Poetry gives us a glimpse into the heart. It allows us to write emotionally about things too complex for ordinary words. The heart knows its own joy and its own sorrow. These cannot be known by another. The heart is a passion unto itself. Proverbs 14:10 says, "Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can fully share its joy." New Living Translation.
Shawn Winters takes you on a journey into his mind and the expressions of his heart, with an impassioned look at the flame of life before his eyes. He shares his joy, his pain, and his intimacy. These are things that stir expression in his soul. He takes you to the heights of faith, and into the jaws of hell itself. He gives you a broad spectrum lens to view not only life's pain, but as well, the most intimate moments of a husband loving his wife.
