If we should ever meet again

The poetry in Richard Trembath’s If We Should Ever Meet Again cannot be described as modern or classical but where its difference lies is that it will appeal to and be understood by the common man.

This collection is wide-ranging and explores life, love, philosophy and much more, as did his two previous volumes of poetry and short stories.

And the Moon still shines

Witten during 2020

when everything changed.

And many things may never

The paths we travel in our search for our true selves: we have all experienced those moments of crystal clarity, when everything made perfect sense and we felt one with the universe. We seek to recapture this meaning and purpose in our life.

I hope these poems will be guideposts along your way to help you reconnect to the spiritual essence of your true self.
