entertained with his writings and

"A World Inside - Love's Glamour"



See the golden chord
it extends beyond,
resides inside your world

All that is,
is found within

Revolutionary becomes 
evolutionary
Compassion sets in

There is here,

“Lobster-backs!” the righteous raucous cry.

The troops retreated till they could retreat no more,
Nine men...
