Experience the poet whose voice was silenced much too soon...
Included here are poems from the book in print and on video.
| GOD'S CREATION image by Carey Hughley, III
Drive the notion, active motion Contemplation of God’s creation See the flicker in the night sky How many people want to die? Did life turn out to be A dizzy twisted mystery? Expressions simplified, actions modified You know it’s all the same to me Blind-sided by the new age Would I drink from the water in which you bathe? No question, there’s infiltration of minds we cannot save Used blues is yesterday’s news When I cruise on high altitudes Paying dues in warn out shoes Leaving us all in a distant mood One revelation, a star shinning brighter than the sun God’s creation, a new life has just begun. |

"Every time I read III Gifts by Carey Hughley I see several additional nuances that not only touch me in a profound way but also gain my respect all the more. Books can be good friends as they are extensions of the author. That's why I'm introducing anybody reading my blogs to this one."
