The Independently Published The Museum of Things That Haven’t Happened Yet: A Collection of 50 Poems Paperback

What if the most important moments of your life were exhibits in a museum only you could enter?The Museum of Things That Haven't Happened Yet is a collection of 50 poems exploring love, loss, childhood, family, fatherhood, heartbreak, grief, healing, courage, faith, work, home, romance, and the uncertain beauty of what comes next.Through ordinary objects-a returned key, a childhood lunchbox, an old voicemail, a porch light, a toothbrush beside another toothbrush-Thomas Shearer explores how seemingly small moments become the memories that shape us.These poems move through the rooms of a life: the people we have loved, the places we can no longer return to, the wounds that changed us, the relationships worth holding onto, and the future that remains unwritten.At times intimate, hopeful, romantic, and bittersweet, this collection is for anyone who has ever missed someone, started over, fallen in love, watched time move too quickly, or wondered what might still be waiting beyond the next door.Some things aren't lost. They're just waiting.
