Night Thoughts

Night Thoughts

by Hanford Lennox Gordon

This collection of poems explores profound themes of existence, mortality, and the human condition through the lens of nocturnal contemplations. Gordon's introspective verses delve into the depths of human consciousness, questioning the meaning of life and our place within the vast expanse of the universe. The poems are imbued with a sense of melancholy and wonder, as Gordon grapples with the complexities of existence and the inevitability of death. Yet, amidst the somber reflections, there is also a glimmer of hope and resilience, as Gordon finds solace in the beauty of nature and the enduring power of human connection.
