The Music of Silence: Poems
Poetry by William Head

The Music Of Silence is a collection of poems inspired by my life’s experiences, the pleasures and pain I’ve known along with the long periods of reflective introspection which have followed in their wake. Like most people, I’ve had my fair share of joy and adversities, all of which made me the person I am for better and worse. As I’ve always been inclined toward a certain brooding concerning life and the curious condition of humanity we all struggle with, many of these poems reflect a sense of pensive melancholy, an urgent desire to penetrate the mysteries of existence to achieve a better understanding of what it means to be alive in the world, striving to do good and grappling with the more harsher realities all living souls must contend with to learn and grow as sage trees in eternity’s sacred garden.


You will also discover that there are many poems celebrating the simple things in life which although often undervalued are the true keys to the kingdom of happiness. You shall find humorand pungent political commentary here as well, along with a deep sense of appreciation for loveand its infinite powers of sublime healing and exaltation. I hope you enjoy it and take something from this collection you can employ to enhance your own unique experience of living.

Flowers of Wisdom: Poems
Poetry by William Head

Flowers Of Wisdom is a collection of poems inspired by intense contemplations regarding life and history, among other things. There’s a vast range of emotion to be found here from profound expressions of joy in existence to more melancholy meditation concerning the many struggles of humanity, as well as sharp observations regarding the mortal tendency towards folly on both the the personal and national level and a celebration of the erotic side of nature, the latter containing considerable humor in some cases. You’ll also find affirmation of the powers and beauty of love and its perennial companion, that enduring vein of romanticism which never pales, regardless of how much it’s bled. I hope you enjoy it and derive wisdom, comfort, and inspiration for thinking in your own daily life from the well-considered words you find within.
