Poetry and Inspiration

The answer elusive like sparks from the fire,
The question of what goals to aspire.
What lies in the depths of your heart
Is what sets the great men apart—
The noble quest to raise the bar,
To guide humankind to a brighter star.

Ian Stott leans on rhymes and his heart to speak to people from all walks of life while reminding us that there is inspiration to be found within the peace of daily observation and creative expression.

In a second volume of poetry that includes photographs, Stott shares verse that evolves from the emotional release of his debut poetry collection, Souvenirs of the Soul. Within diverse poems, Stott lyrically explores the game of life, the magic of giving, broken glass on a beach, the depths of despair, the angel of deception, skating on ice blocks, breadcrumbs and beaches, and kindred spirits.

Connections: Cosmic and Otherwise, Volume II

is a collection of poems that offers more powerful messages that paint a vivid picture of life, its lessons, and its gifts.
