Blooming Blossoms is an ensemble of poems inspired by a variety of events, including the death of a very close and dear family member. Almost every poem tells a moving story based on a lifetime worth of varying relationships. Some passages are joyful, while others may carry despair. Nevertheless, they are lyrical, demonstrating an uncanny knack and prowess to rhyme. The poems blend life's personal experiences with creative, imaginative, and profound thoughts and insight. Each original poem is rich, textured and musical, encompassing many of life's day to day challenges. Any of the poems could be a portrait or a sculpture, carefully constructed by the artist. In Blooming Blossoms, the words are the tools, masterfully put together, inspired by human thought and emotion, and dedicated to sharing an intimate story.

To him, Mother Nature is an incomparable and uplifting source of inspiration. He sees unusual beauty and succor in the soft trill of brooks meandering over rocks on mountain tops, the din of the fresh and fearless face of the ocean, the vast canopy lit with millions of buds of light and shining like a newly-wed bride, the beauty of blooming blossoms, the crunching of snow under feet while trekking on steep mountains, the fluorescence of fireflies, the glorious sunset, the vagabond clouds flittering with unusual speed. The fragrance in flowers, fire in stones, music in wires, lightning in clouds, the seven rainbow hues, are intriguing yet a magnificent source of abundant glee to him.
