These writings of poetry provide comforting reflections of life. Within everyone there is a blooming flower that goes through stages and blossoms. Stages of Life are a reflection of the lessons we all learn through relationships. This is poetry that explores those stages and expands on those lessons. As Ahdan enters his third stage of expression, he pours out the inspirations that he sees not only in nature but in his everyday experiences. Just as we use flowers to beautify our environment, and as objects of romance, culture and nourishment, Ahdan uses this book of poetry in the same way. The poet hopes that this collection of poems exemplifies the image and symbolic meaning of a flower. Enjoy this arrangement
