From Within, Here Is My Joy

For longtime poet Bill Kiely, poetry began as a high school assignment and has blossomed over the course of his life into a venture of new hopes and dreams. He writes to release tension, relieve stress, and remember life's journeys.

In his latest collection of poetry, From Within, Here Is My Joy, Kiely offers verses that embrace life and the poetic path we are all on, the words inside of us simply waiting to be released. These poems represent a small portion of his hopes, dreams, and words reimagined in our world, a compilation of memories and a chance encounter with the spirited embrace of Kiely's mind. In sharing his voice and heart, along with various facets of his life, he seeks to define himself as a dreamer, writer, poet, and artist.

My Courage to Hope

Within the tender of the moment between the softness of the way forces of nature awaiting birth buds of life awaken with the promise of a new day. Challenged misdirection cannot change tethered strings tugging my rope I am not enraged by this imbalance eagerly I embrace my courage to hope.
