I live in the foothills of the Ozarks among the beauty Mother Nature offers here. My poetry and prose appear in literary magazines, anthologies, and online venues. I savor the writing of poetry as an essential path to living creatively, and firmly believe the writing process grants me an excellent quality of life.
Excerpt from: On the Tip of My Tongue
PEACE
Peace is a tear on the cheek of God
we lift with love
to place on our own cheek.
Peace is the pollen on the stamen of life
we gather with hope
to place in our own heart.
Peace is the sunshine on the petal of self
we pluck with joy
to place on our own brow.
Peace is the root on the bulb of hope
we water with desire
to place in our own soul.
