Bring love to the world if only for a day
No questions asked, nor answered, nor saved
Let peace abide in every child, we pray

As they stood watching their son, enthralled in...

It all began so many years ago,
his journey down the narrow winding path,
and where it was to lead just fate could know
as it would take him through life’s aftermath.

The journey long and hard that he...

As dawn unfolds today beyond my fractured windowpane,
a breeze beguiles the ashen drapes. Like snakes they slip aside,
revealing wanton worlds that race and run aground, insane,
immersed in scenes obscene that savants strive to mask and...

Streamed through the curtains
Woke up to a glorious spring day
In Lowndes County Georgia 1918

Filled with love, legacy
Our people

Slipped on my...

There She lays like
Iseult waiting for 
Dragon's tongue
Black night eternal
immersed...

We make our way through the debris
To the second floor of the military shelter…
Slowly and cautiously,
For Death here lies-
But only half-asleep.
The torrid wind wrings the unstuck wallpaper,
Forcing it to sing the hymn
Of the great Amarna...

The wedding Gown

She stepped boldly,
stoically erect
to the strains
of the wedding march,
radiant in the resplendent
beauty of her gown 
and poetic demeanor.
The long silken train, the work
of tens of thousands of weavers
harvesting in the trees of Changsha
