Let Us Begin

Let Us Begin is a powerful and intimate collection of poetry that explores the raw terrain of loss, healing, and quiet faith. Told in five reflective stages-Lost, Seeking, Found, Resolve, and Become-this collection serves as a companion for those walking through personal struggle, emotional exhaustion, or spiritual uncertainty. It does not offer cliché answers or easy resolution. Instead, it holds space for the questions, the stillness, and the sacred ache of becoming whole.

David Yancey writes with unflinching honesty and a deep sense of empathy. His poems speak to grief, identity, resilience, and the lifelong process of finding meaning after pain. With language that is both lyrical and accessible, Let Us Begin invites readers into a dialogue with their own journey. It recognizes that growth rarely happens all at once-and that faith, when it comes, often arrives in a whisper, not a roar.

For anyone who has struggled with self-worth, distanced themselves from God, or carried the invisible weight of trying to appear "okay," this collection offers more than poetic reflection-it offers companionship. Let Us Begin is a reminder that the first step forward is still a step. And you don't have to take it alone.
