My Philosophy

Possibility given a voice
Opportunity and multiple choice
Everyone is equal and free
To put pen to page...just try and see.
Real and true to this art
You must be, from the start

Flowery verse or staccato prose
Oration, lyric, iambic, morose
Real emotion, your words must expose

As you write, as you share
Life, love, loss, or despair
Leave your soul on the page...if you dare.

Thanks, Mark! I have been in a job for a few months now where I get the blessing to do and introduce art and poetry to patients from 7-93 placed in a Behavioral Health setting. Kinda caught the bug to start writing again. Try to share this philosophy with all the patients I meet! Thanks for the view!
