Biography
My poetry is spiritual and inspirational. It is sometimes quirky and light hearted, but always honest and based in seeking truth. I have written about 700 poems in my life time without much of an outlet or intention to share. But I am glad to be able to interact with this community of talented poets and I appreciate all the likes and insightful comments.
Shadows And Light
Shadows And Light My life, a flickering candle A flame through the dark of night... In a stand upon a mantle Casting shadows and light. Will a glow or glimmer remain When this light is no more? Or will everything remain the same As it has always been before?

-on “a miscreant yearns” ~ Thanks Marla Joy 🙏🏻🕊that speaks deeply to me as I never chose the way in which I had grown to use language; and you’re allowing room for that brings me to a place of freedom and acceptance, no matter how strange my language may get. It’s like writing the way Christopher Walken would employ language in his speech, almost (for lack of a more ready analogy). You are much appreciated and your kind words much valued. 🙏🏻🕊🌷rbk
