Darkness racin'--
like the fire in your blood--
takes your breath away.
Alone again
with the shadows and
the fears that you let stay.
Acsend into the starfield
if your heart can stand the load
Let any dream take you there,
it's better than the cold.
Freedom calls you lovingly
from the terrors of the night--
fear is a consuming passion--
that hunger for your life.
Expectations
are chains that you wear
keeping you from the light.
Living your life right
down to the bone will
tear your inner sight.
Sometimes you must refuse
the love that leaves you driven,
or burn down like a fuse,
and lose all that you've been given.
Reach for the strength within you.
You've got the power to win--
Tack into forever and
claim an endless wind--

Major League ballplayer Justin Moore is kidnapped from his own ballpark and transported to a foreign land. It might take high-level international negotiations to free him. Or maybe he will take matters into his own hands.
The deep-dive literary meditations presented as stories, poems, and essays in The American Poet Who Went Home Again, A Mosaic of My Soul at Work, have captivated and inspired readers ever since its first paperback publication in 2008.
excellent.
