"the sun is the Maker's lense
...go ahead
look back".

".. indeed, he who
watches over Israel
slumbers not
nor sleeps." Psalm 121:4

*I'm not alone nor a loner~
but a spray of heavenly dust
in an epidermal composite.

I laugh less, but know more
cause trouble because I want peace.
I'm neither his, hers or anyone's,
but am deeply involved with many.

I've been selected by the One
who called me without refute, conditions,
or even a promise to be good.
That's why I said yes....YES!
At risk of not being accepted, I have met, surrendered to , know and love the Lord
Jesus Christ. He has made Himself known to me even while I struggle.
Precious, sweet, and enduring eternally. He is my ultimate muse.

Happy Birthday if it's yours; never mind if or when it's mine.
I'm alright staying behind the veil of my future which is
eternity.

"I am not driven by loss,
but in the gain—-its rhythmic mania."

"If pain doesn't drive us
to the highest level of change,
it didn't hurt enough."

If we can't explain the tedious design
of a molecule, we deduce... intelligent
design.

If the earth was not our idea, it has
already been spoken for

If you have more than one natal father or mother,
you've come up with a new creation that deletes
what is known to be true.

Since entering contests and submitting to mainstream publishers, I attained some success. I have had the pleasure to work with AllPoetry's publications , quarterly magazines, and internationally with Kreativ's poetry books, edited and compiled by Myra Lochner aka: myrataal. ( http://allpoetry.com/myrataal)
Next year will be my upcoming novelette, "Under The Resh Seal", a World War II love story/epic based on a family member's real experience as a POW , its trauma and loss of 20 years.

About My Critiquing

As a courtesy to those who need a
viewpoint or two from readers, critiquing
is an important ingredient for improvement,
not so much in the way your sacred thoughts
could be written, (as each style has its comfort
zone), but for the clarity of readability.
If you're serious about quality
writing, I owe it to you as a fellow poet!

Once you hear from me in a greeting and check out my page, please let me know what kind of critiquing you expect:


Level one-General comments and critiques which mildly approach the general pragmatics of improving the overall body.

Level Two-General and specific comments that are diplomatically giving a more intense suggestion and/or rewrite. Sometimes they are reviewed on a line-by-line. Ask me only if you aren't overly sensitive and your ego isn't in the front line. Thank you for your trust.

My poetry may not impress everyone, but much of it will find its way to help develop a reader's third eye, the one that seeks a change and pre-empts complacency. I hope you find the ardent weaver in at least one of them.
I give all glory to the only God, and through the changing power of Jesus Christ who is knowable to anyone who wants a relationship. This is why I left religion.

Dear authors and readers,
I was privileged to have written the forward for
Myra Lochner's 3rd book ( "WINS Verlies.Gained Loss" ) of collected bi-lingual poetry (English and Africaan) with the theme of healing, hope, and encouragement. (Several of my poems are also included. )
Myra is a lovely Christian woman, author -producer, publisist, edopathist (creator of a newly developed process of inner healing), social worker and meta-therapist. You can read about her in our internet community of writers.

Are you writing a book? Do you want someone to write the prologue or forward to introduce you and your work in a way that you as the author wouldn't? I will consider if you ask.
Private message me so we can discuss it.

Thank you for reading.
