As the continuation of the writers first book, "Thoughts of a Daydreamer", these poems have a view from a more experienced perspective. Where life’s meaning is more relevant as the writer has advanced through the years. The seasons of life are expressed not only in the what nature or holidays bring. But in life’s transition from youth to our senior years. Friends who we have met along the way and their impact on our lives. Living in the moment as well as what the next days will bring. In “Dreaming Out Loud”, the daydreams are no longer hidden. Feelings are being expressed from realities of living a full life. Experiencing today while transitioning to the back side of life with an open and enthusiastic attitude. Telling a few stories along the way. Less fearful of the future and still dreaming about what is to come.
