This book represents a selection of poems of John Light spanning the years from 1999 to 2018 and covering a range of topics. They have been organized here by subject, which can be an arbitrary decision. Many poems can fall into multiple categories.I had no intent to have these ever published. Yet, at the start of 2020, the world has witnessed a pandemic that I sense is changing the world forever. Millions have been affected by the pandemic. As I write this preface, over 4.7M total confirmed cases have been recorded, and over 315K have died. Where this pandemic ends up is anyone's guess at this point. If any of these poems can provide comfort, hope, or light, then they have served their purpose.All poems are original works and copyrighted by the Author John Light. They may be used with permission and with acknowledgment of the author.I can be reach via twitter @light_poet
