The things that truly matter are rarely found on the surface. 

David Oyuke carries an aroma of life with him. The 7th born of 7 children born on the 7th day of the 7th month, he rarely thought there was anything about him to write home about. A perfect candidate to be described as a flower in a broken vase, he knows that the things that truly matter in life are rarely found on the surface or at first glance.

This poetry collection is from his heart and as you read it, you will feel the texture of every written word, and find the rare treasure beneath the surface. Who knows? The treasure you find may very well be a beautiful fragment of yourself you never knew existed.
